Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said that The Cattle Preservation Bill will ensure peace and harmony in the state.
The Chief Minister made this statement while discussion on the Assam Cattle Preservation Bill 2021 on Friday at the Assam Assembly meeting.
CM Sarma started his speech with a quote from Mahanta Gandhi's writing on Young India. CM Sarma spoke in favour of the bill and made few statements supporting the bill today.
CM Sarma said, "The more slaughters of cows take place in Assam, the more people of the state will prove their ungratefulness.
In his speech, CM Sarma also referred to Babar and Humayun. He also said, "There will be communal harmony in India only if cow slaughter is stopped."
He further stated that he is not against anyone's right to eat. To safeguard the communal harmony of India is not the responsibility of only Hindus, added CM Sarma.
The Assam Assembly discussed on the Cattle Preservation Bill on Friday. It was the last day of the Assam Assembly cabinet.
However, the discussion on Assam Cattle Preservation Bill 2021 did not satisfy the opposition parties and a chaotic situation arose again.
All the opposition demanded that the bill must be send to the Select Committee.
