A perception was being created that the state's BJP-led government is against "meat eaters", Goa Animal Husbandry Minister Mauvin Godinho told the Legislative Assembly today.
He was replying to a question raised by BJP MLA Glenn Ticlo who wanted to know why the state-run slaughterhouse Goa Meat Complex Limited (GMCL) was non-functional.
Godinho said that a perception was being created that since the state has a BJP-led government, it was against "meat eaters" and, therefore, was not allowing the GMCL to operate.
Speaking in the House, Godinho said, "This (perception) is totally false. The GMCL's operations halved in October last year when animals were not allowed to be brought there due to an NGO."
