Home Minister ordered investigation into cow killing

Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara has ordered an investigation into the cow killing. The state's main opposition BJP and Hindu organizations have expressed concern over these incidents. It is noteworthy that earlier, incidents of cutting off the udders of three cows in Chamrajpet in Bengaluru and the tail of a cow in Nanjangud town of Mysuru had come to light. Syed Nasru, the accused in the case of cutting off the udders of cows, has been arrested.

Our heads have bowed down in shame - BJP

BJP State President B.Y. Vijayendra said that the incident in Honnavara has made everyone bow their heads in shame. He said that even then the Home Minister is pretending that the law and order situation here is good. The Siddaramaiah government is showing a soft attitude towards these anti-nationals, who have no fear. The State Government and the Home Minister should have woken up by now. Vijayendra, alleging the deterioration of law and order, said that a 'communal atmosphere' is being created in the state.
