For BJP, cow is 'mummy' in UP, but 'yummy' in Northeast: Owaisi

April 01, 2017 15:37

All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen Party president Asaduddin Owaisi has slammed the Bharatiya Janata Party for its contradictory stand on cow slaughter.

"BJP's hypocrisy is that in Uttar Pradesh cow is mummy, but in the Northeast it's yummy, "the Hyderabad MP said in reference to Nagaland BJP chief Visasolie Lhoungu's comment that the BJP would not ban cow slaughter in the state if it comes to power.

Since coming to power in UP, Adityanath has ordered strict enforcement of the state's existing ban on slaughter. The Uttar Pradesh government has also taken strict action against abbatoirs operating illegally and without a license.

Lhoungu had said that the ban on cow slaughter like the one in UP won't take effect in Nagaland if his party comes to power next year.

He also added that the reality in Nagaland is very different and party's central leaders are aware of that.
