Why are seculars silent over Kerala incident, asks Yogi

- HT Correspond­ent letters@hindustant­imes.com

UP chief minister Yogi Adityanath has questioned the silence of secular parties over Kerala’s beef festivals in protest against the Centre’s decision banning the sale of cattle for slaughter from open markets.

“I feel there is a lot of talk in the country to respect each others feelings and several organisati­ons demand this in the name of secularism. But why are they silent on the Kerala incident?” he asked at a function on Sunday night.

“Why are the people who staged vociferous protests over the incidents in DU and JNU silent on the issue?” he asked.

Adityanath, soon after coming to power, had ordered strict compliance of the ban on cow slaughter in the state, besides closing down of illegal slaughter houses.
