DMK on issue of ban on sale of cattle for slaughter
taking a stand against the central government led by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) today, the situation has arisen that "we will have to eat the same things which the prime minister wants".

While leading the demonstration organized by DMK against the ban, the party's executive president MK Stalin warned that if the recent notification on this matter was not withdrawn, 'another marina revolution' like the demonstration in favour of Jallikattu will be.

Stalin alleged that the central government was bringing such notifications to curtail its three-year failure. He raised the question on the silence on the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu K Palaniswamy on this issue.

Recalling the various promises made by BJP in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, Stalin said that no promise, including bringing back black money and creating jobs, has not been fulfilled.

He claimed, "Therefore, this ban, restrictions are being imposed on what we eat. Such situations have arisen that we can eat whatever Modi wants. Civil liberties guaranteed by the constitution are being snatched. Freedom is being siphoned.

On the other hand, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders in Meghalaya on Tuesday warned the Centre's Modi government that if the new rules were not withdrawn on the purchase of animals, they would resign from the party.

"The majority of party leaders in Meghalaya are not happy with the new rule because it will affect the socio-economic status of the people," said BJP's Vice President John Antonyus Lyngdoh.

Lyngdoh said that the party members had a detailed discussion on the matter on Monday.

Former food and civil supplies minister Lyngdoh said, "We can not accept new orders issued for purchase and distribution of animals." We can not go against our eating habits and neither can we put the financial interests of the people involved in the purchase of animal husbandry and animal slaughter business.
