In response to concerns whether the new bill will protect Gau Rakshaks, Deputy Chief Minister CN Ashwath Narayan said earlier, life was at risk for cow vigilantes, not who were in the trade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cow slaughter has already been banned in the state since the 1960s. The new bill  include bulls and buffaloes under 13 years of age into cattle and hardens the punishment for people involved in any form of cattle slaughter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Narayan said it is unclear whether the section 17 of the bill can be applied to cow vigilantes as the bill was framed with their mind. Vigilantes or anyone who is working for a cause and the law of the land should definitely have a scope to work in this provision, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to a data compiled by NDTV, there have been 115 incidents of cattle-related mob violence since 2015 in which 46 people died and 146 were injured across the country, none of whom were attacked by vigilantes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Also Read:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/mamata-banerjee-slams-bjp-chief-jp-nadda-as-chaddha-nadda-fadda-bhaddha\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mamata Banerjee slams BJP chief JP Nadda as Chaddha, Nadda, Fadda, Bhaddha<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Narayan said the vigilantes in Karnataka were putting themselves at great risk it is only the cow vigilantes who have lost their lives in the state. People in the (cattle) trade were completely armed. They were taking lives and killing people. Citing the data that is not available in public domain, he said it is not the vigilantes. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cow slaughter has already been banned in the state since the 1960s.
