Sanjeev Balyan’s wisdom on Dadri lynching: 1 cow 150 kg, find out who all ate it

“A cow weighs nothing less than 150 kg and one person alone cannot consume it. There should be a probe into what happened and who were involved in the crime,” Balyan, Minister of State for Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, told The Indian Express.

“The forensic report has proved that the meat found in Akhlaq’s house was that of a cow. Cow slaughter is banned in Uttar Pradesh. We should know who all consumed the meat. A probe will bring the facts out,” Balyan said.

Balyan’s statement came after BJP MLA Sangeet Som and party MP Yogi Adityanath sought action against Akhlaq’s family and asked the UP government to recover the compensation it had paid to them.

The BJP’s official spokespersons refused to comment on the demands made by Adityanath and Som, but the party’s general secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya sought action against Akhlaq’s family.

“If the law permits action against someone who breaks the cow-slaughter ban, it should be taken. You cannot ignore laws in the name of minority vote-bank politics. Every one is equal before the law. You cannot have privileges simply because you belong to a minority,” Vijayvargiya told The Indian Express.
