JKNPP holds protest against cow slaughter acts in Kashmir

Jammu and Kashmir National Panthers Party activists today held 'anti-government' and 'anti-police' protests for their failure to keep a check on cow slaughter in Kashmir despite High Court's order to ban beef in the state.
Over 200 activists, led by JKNPP chairman Harsh Dev Singh and state president Balwant Singh Mankotia, staged a protest demonstration at Exhibition ground against the state government's laxity towards the malefactors.
The protestors raised anti-police and anti-BJP slogans.
The brazen killings of bovine animals in Kashmir by certain felons defying the High Court's prohibitory orders are highly contemptuous and alarming besides sacrilegious to the religious faith and belief of the Hindus, Singh said.

Admonishing the acquiescing stand of the BJP on this sensitive issue, Singh lambasted the profane proposal of the BJP leader from Kashmir - Khurshid Ahmad Malik - to invite Hindus and Muslims to the 'Beef party' despite a judicial ban.
Mankotia, while taking a serious cognizance of the inflammatory videos on social sites, has sought an immediate arrest and detention of separatist leader Asiya Andrabi for flaring up communal passions, whose video clip showing cow slaughter had gone viral on the social networking sites.
Mankotia also sought an explanation from the saffron party, an ally in the coalition government, to clear its stand on the brazen cow slaughter in Kashmir.
