Addressing the workers of the organisation, religious Guru Dinesh Bharti demanded a prohibition on cow slaughter in the entire state and slammed those who have been justifying beef consumption on various grounds.”
The cow slaughter should be banned in the state in letter and spirit,” he said.

“The protection of cow is considered sacred for Hinduism,” he said.
