STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS
The objects of this Bill are plain enough . It is to prohibit slaughter of cows and its progeny . It is well known that through- out the length and breadth of our country there is a demand for it and Parliament cannot overlook this fact fraught with dangerous consequences . Some of the States have already taken this step and enacted laws under different denominations , but Parliament is competent to enact such a law applicable to the whole of India .
