Panaji, Dec 16 (IANS): Goa's beef traders have urged Chief Minister Pramod Sawant to use his "good offices" with the BJP leadership to prevent Karnataka's Prevention of Slaughter and Preservation of Cattle Bill, 2020 from being notified. The law was passed amid controversy in the Karnataka state assembly last week.
In a letter to Sawant, the Quraishi Meat Traders Association of Goa has said that beef is a part of the staple diet in Goa's multi-cultural society and is consumed by the visiting tourists and if the law came into force in Karnataka, it would have a severe impact in the coastal state.
