Shabeer Lal Babu, Reeta Gupta, Shahid Akhtar, Anant Lal and others.
Later, talking to the media, Vijay Khan said, from the day BJP government came into power, beef export has increased and the price has also gone up. This is a very serious issue for a country like India. He further said, �We all consider cow as our mother and several Muslims also rear cows and are involved in milk production in big numbers.�
The Congress leader advised the samiti members that instead of creating panic, they should look after several cows in the district and town that are sick and old and remain in unclaimed condition.
Samiti members should refrain from taking law in their hands and if they see any illegal work done they should inform the police and congress party will always be there to support them, added Khan.
