University students cook beef, have a feast!
BANGALORE Feb 19: Bangalore University students were in the mood for a
feast. Only this one was for a cause: to protest the proposed
amendment to the Cow Slaughter Bill.
Scores of students assembled in front of the college hostel, lit up a
fire, cooked beef and had a mass feast, all in protest. After this,
students marched to the Vice-Chancellor's office where they submitted
a memorandum opposing the Bill.
"The memorandum listed social and nutritional ramifications of such a
legislation and how it is discriminatory in nature towards Dalits and
members of minority communities," a student said.
The memorandum, addressed to the Governor, will be handed over by the
Vice-Chancellor. Students said that although this protest was not held
by any political party, several other protests were planned.
Vice-Chancellor N. Prabhu Dev said that the protest was peaceful.
Beef mela
The Republican Party of India's (RPI) State unit is organising a Beef
Mela in front of Town Hall in the city on February 23.
"Beef samosas, beef rolls and beef biryani will be served to the
people in front of the Town Hall," said RPI State unit president M.
Venkataswami before declaring that the State Government could not take
away the food rights of Dalits by enacting the proposed Bill.
Meanwhile, the CPI(M) will be holding a demonstration at Freedom Park
or Banappa Park on February 25, the opening day of the Legislature
session.
