Guv holds back cow slaughter bill

Source: DHNS

Bangalore , Friday, July 30, 2010 : Governor H R Bhardwaj on Thursday reserved the Cow Slaughter Ban Bill for the President’s consideration on the ground that certain provisions of the proposed legislation had inter-state implications. Now, the Bill, which was passed earlier this month by both Houses of the Legislature, can become law if and when President Pratibha Patil gives her assent to it.

The Governor’s action reflected his continuing political differences with the ruling BJP in Karnataka. In the past, he had openly launched a political campaign in which he had targeted the Reddy brothers, speaking his mind against the alleged illegal mining in the State.
