Cow slaughter

NEW DELHI: The Delhi Bharatiya Janata Party president, Harsh Vardhan, on Tuesday said those guilty of cow slaughter and export of beef from the Capital should be prosecuted and imprisoned.

Speaking at a dharna near Jantar Mantar here, Dr. Vardhan alleged that more than 250 cows were slaughtered per day under Government protection.
