The Madhya Pradesh government on Wednesday withdrew a bull sterilisation campaign after it faced strong criticism from BJP MP Pragya Singh Thakur, who termed the programme  as an attempt to put an end to  indigenous cows. 

"I brought the order (of bulls' sterilisation) into the notice of chief minister (Shivraj Singh Chouhan) and animal husbandry minister (Prem Singh Patel). (After I brought the issue to their notice) The order was cancelled today,' Thakur told reporters in Bhopal on Wednesday night. 

The Lok Sabha MP from Bhopal dubbed the campaign as 'an internal conspiracy.' 

She said, "I feel this is an internal conspiracy and there is a need to be careful because no one can ever destroy the indigenous cow. It should not even be done. How this happened is a matter of investigation." Thakur said she will urge the chief minister to order a probe to find out how it all happened. -- PTI
