This is nothing else but a great blow to the Indian culture to send its dead bodies to the world.
These experts of the Planning Commission have also advised, "power to establish slaughter houses should be vested not to the local authorities but to the state Government and in rural areas the slaughter house should be established."
As a matter of fact this vested interest must be in the hands of local power or local administrator who really knows whether to allow or not to start poultry farm or butcher house. The local authorities really know the ecological and also the environmental circumstances so it will be totally injustice to snatch this right from them.
By establishing the slaughter house in Rural areas. What does government wish to achieve? Our farmers are earning their livelihood by ploughing the fields with the help of ox-buffalo. They also contribute to the progress of our country. Does the government wants the people (farmers) from pure farming business to butcher business to kill the animals? Whether govt. wishes to give up the noble principle of "Live and Let Live?" If this is true then let the slogan of 'Jai Kisan' mentioned in the book of 10th Five year plan be changed to 'Jai Killer'!! or Jai Slaughterer.
