Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma had on Saturday said that if the Congress demands it, we will ban beef in the state.
The Assam government has banned beef. CM Himanta Biswa Sarma gave this information on Wednesday on social media platform X. CM said that this decision was taken in the council of ministers. From now on, beef will no longer be served in hotels, restaurants and public places in the state.
Announcing this, Water Resources Minister Piyush Hazarika said, “Congress should welcome this decision or go to Pakistan.
In fact, voting for the by-election for the Samaguri seat took place on November 13. After the results were declared on November 23, MP Rakibul Hussain had accused the BJP of criticizing the Congress’s defeat.
In response, CM Himanta Biswa Sarma told the media after the BJP meeting on Saturday that he was ready to ban beef in the state, provided the Congress gives it in writing.
Sarma had asked: Can Samguri seat be won by giving beef? Sarma had said, “I want to know if the Congress won the elections by strengthening the voter base. He knows the material very well. Does this mean that Samaguri can be gained by donating beef? This year, Hussain became an MP by winning the Dhubri Lok Sabha seat with a record margin of over 10.12 lakh votes. Before that, he had served as Samguri MP for five consecutive terms.
Sarma said: I want to tell Rakibul Hussain that beef should be banned because he himself said it was wrong. Just give them to me in writing. The BJP and Congress should not talk beef. The BJP, AGP and CPM will not be able to make any bid and Hindus, Muslims and Christians should all stop eating beef.
What does the Assam Cattle Preservation Act 2021 say? Consumption of beef is not illegal in Assam, but the Assam Cattle Preservation Act 2021 prohibits the slaughter of cattle and sale of beef in areas where Hindus, Jains and Sikhs are in the majority and within five kilometers from any temple or satra (Vaishnav monastery). .
