GANDHINAGAR: Gujarat has adopted the toughest law against cow slaughter in the country. From now, the crime will be punishable with a 14-year jail term.

The state government cleared on Friday the Gujarat Animal Preservation (Amendment) Bill, 2017, which raises the maximum jail sentence from the current 3-7 years to 14 years for cow slaughter.

It also carries a provision of fine of up to Rs 5 lakh and not less than Rs 1 lakh.

The bill was passed by a majority vote in the absence of opposition members in the assembly but in the presence of many saffron-clad sadhus in the public gallery. A top official who was part of the team which drafted the bill told TOI, "It (cow slaughter) will invite a sentence of life term of a maximum of 14 years."
Minister of state for home Pradeepsinh Jadeja said, "During this auspicious occasion of Chaitra Navratri, the government, on suggestions of several sadhu-sants, has made amendments to the Gujarat Animal Protection (Amendment) Act, 2011. This is the harshest law in the country, which was required to save our religion, culture, economy and environment."

The bill, seen as an attempt to consolidate Hindu votes ahead of the 2017 assembly polls, makes all offences under the act cognisable and non-bailable. Jadeja added, "Shedding of even a single drop of cow's blood hurts Hindus. We have equalled killing of a cow or cow progeny with killing of a human being."

Initially, the draft bill submitted in the assembly had a provision of a maximum of 10 years of jail for cow slaughter. However, the penalty was raised to 14 years through a supplementary provision introduced in the House by the MoS home on Friday, which was attached with the amendment bill. The jail term for illegal ferrying of cows for slaughter, selling, stocking or exhibition of cow beef, too, has been raised to 10 years.

Ticking time bomb. Only a matter of time before we see a full fledged war between Muslims and hardcore Hindu extremists in India. It is inevitable. Let the stew brew a little more before the it reaches the right temperature.

Either that or the Muslims will be stripped of their religious beliefs and bow down without resistance.

Animals are more precious than ordinary people in supa powa 2012.

Animals are being worshiped when women and hard-working untouchables who are supposed to be worshipped are being neglected and demonised.

And Human being are less precious than Animal in china.
It varies from country to country.

Let me educate you about kuran. It says that do not eat the flash of cow drink its milk.

So far as women's importance in your religion, better not speak. Less said is better.


What is this? Any non veg item?
