Shillong: Meghalaya government on Monday passed an official resolution on the recent notification of the Centre to 'ban' cow slaughter during the special session of the state Assembly.
The development comes close on the heels of the resignation of top BJP leaders from the state unit of the party. The state government introduced the resolution after protests from various quarters against the recent notification by the Centre to ban sale of cattle for the purpose of slaughter from marketplaces.
Meghalaya is not the only state to have opposed these rules. States like Kerala and West Bengal have already expressed their displeasure.
Recently, the CM of Kerala, Pinarayi Vijayan had moved a special motion in the Kerala assembly against the new norms in order to mount pressure on the Centre to reverse them. After a two-hour debate, the Assembly passed a near-unanimous special resolution against the Centre.
