Stop cattle slaughter for Bakrid, says Vishwa Prani Kalyana Mandali

Sri Dayananda Swami of the Vishwa Prani Kalyana Mandali has appealed to the Union and State governments to stop cattle slaughter during Bakrid festival across Karnataka.

In a letter to the governments, he demanded that cattle slaughter and animal sacrifice be banned on Bakrid falling on Saturday (June 7 this year) and subsequent days as per provisions of the Prevention of Slaughter and Preservation of Cattle Act 2020 and the Prevention of Animal Sacrifices Act 1959, Rules 1963 and Amendment Act 1975.

He has attached copies of some Supreme Court and High Court orders in support of his demand.

Members of the mandali, including Uttam Chand Jajed, Suresh Runawal, Ashok Nagore, Sukhveer Jain, and others have signed the letter.
