The ban on beef has been a great loss to the leather industry. Other states are earning high profits from this industry.

The All India Milli Council on Saturday met BJP state president Raosaheb Danve to discuss the beef ban issue and rehabilitation of workers whose business has been badly hit. The organisation also urged the BJP to allow meat of hybrid Jersey cows and bulls that would ensure preservation of “desi cows”.

As per the proposal, Jersey cows should be imported in place of Indian bulls and cows. This would preserve the faith of the Hindus as the cows from foreign countries weren’t from ‘Indian progeny’.

“We have been having regular internal discussions to figure out a solution that would benefit the society as a whole regarding the beef ban and rehabilitation of the unemployed labourers of slaughter houses,” said BJP state president Danve.

BJP spokesperson Madhav Bhandari said,”At present, we cannot decide on the proposal but we will soon come up with an answer.”

Bhandari said, “The ban on slaughter of cow and bullock was not based on religion but to benefit the agriculture sector.”

Mohammed Ali Qureshi, president of The Bombay Suburban Beef Dealer’s Welfare Association, raised the issue of loss faced by the leather industry. “On an average, 4,50,000 bulls are slaughtered every year which supplies a large amount of hides to the leather industry.

The ban on beef has been a great loss to the leather industry. Other states are earning high profits from this industry.”
