Politics on cattle and beef has taken a center-off in Assam, in which the remains of suspected cattle in a episode have been recovered near the places of worship, Chief Minister Himantas Biswa Sarma said on Friday that the government will tighten the enforcement of the Assam Conservation Act on Friday.
In the last two weeks, at the first two places near the temples, and a Namghar (Community Prayer Hall) in Lakhimpur, at least 72 people have been arrested in Dhubri, Golpara and Lakhimpur after three separate incidents of suspected cattle. Sarma on Friday referred to him as an attempt to create unrest “because Eid ul Zuha.”
Speaking at a press conference, he said that all these incidents took place in “sensitive areas”.
“When we look at all these events and wherever they are, they are near areas where there is a system of eating beef during Eid ul Zuha. Our cattle conservation bill says that if Hindus live in an area, or if there are temples or namaghar, such meat cannot be eaten within 5 kilometers.
The Assam Cattle Protection Act, 2021, that he was referring to a section that prohibits the sale of beef and beef products in areas, mainly within the radius of 5 km of Hindus, Jains, Sikhs and other non-wise communities or any temples, stutters, or other religious institutions.
Sarma said that the state government will prepare an SOP to stop Quarbani (Sacrifice) The cattle within the scope of 5-kim of such a complex, saying that “can be a permanent solution.”
“Dhubri has one of the leading gurdwaras in the country and has many temples … but this time around Eid, the district administration did not implement this provision the way it should have been done … Therefore, we have directed the district administration that it cannot be implemented significantly in our cattle conservation bill. He said.

Last week, he also alleged that the beef was “weapon” against Hindus in the state to remove them from places.
Killing these developments, MP and Assam Congress chief Gaurav Gogoi has accused Sarma of “politics like Jinnah” and has accused the BJP’s role in these incidents.
“All these people should be investigated, who have been held till now, who gave them this idea, who advised them. Those who have done so have committed a crime, but who has given this idea to them?
“There are some criminal minds inside them. Within the BJP, there are RSS, VHP, Bajrang Dal, some criminal-minded people who want to do these types before elections. Our aim is not to let us create a communal atmosphere inside Assam … We will not let him do our” Jinnana-like “politics,” he said.
