New Delhi: Uttar Pradesh Minister Siddharth Nath Singh backed the state government’s decision to ban illegal slaughterhouses on Monday.
Taking a strong stand, he said anything illegal in the country needs to be stopped even if it is a slaughterhouse.
However, he clarified that government’s stand is only against ‘illegal’ slaughterhouses and there is nothing wrong with it.Also Read: Fighting Crackdown, Meat Sellers in UP to Go on Indefinite Strike From Today
“We have repeatedly said and are saying it again that this ban is against the illegal slaughterhouses and anything illegal has to be stopped," he said at a press conference.
This comes after Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Aditya Nath Yogi on Monday said abattoirs operating legally will not be touched but action will be taken against those run illegally. "The government will not touch those (abattoirs) which are operating as per the provisions of law and have a valid licence. But those that are violating the orders of the NGT and playing with the health of the public would not be spared...," he had said.
