Mumbai

Mumbai based Gujarati community, mainly Jain religious organizations have today issued a full page advertisements in Gujarati newspapers published from Mumbai. In this advertisement prominent Gujaratis in Mumbai have hailed state government’s decision to ban cow slaughter.

Gujarati text in advertisement reads:”To prevent bovine slaughter BJP government had passed ‘Gau Hatya Nishedhak’ bill during 1995-99. Later non-BJP government had shelved this bill during 2000-2014 period.”

“Ahead of recent assembly elections in Maharshtra, the BJP government had promised implementation of law against bovine slaughter. Cabinet minister Shri Prakashbhai Mehta had started attempts to fulfill this promise. Honorable Lok Sabha MP Kiritbhai Somaiya had taken a pledge that “if our government is elected with majority, we will go ahead in direction of implementation of a law to put ban on bovine slaughter.” He took personal interest and ensured approvals including an approval by President Pranab Mukherjee. And due to these efforts, the implementation of this law has started from 2nd March after President’s signature.”

“Entire Jain community and all animal lovers thank you for implementation of this law and your cooperation and hail your attempts.”
