South Goa MP Francisco Sardinha made a strong pitch for the resumption of beef supplies from Karnataka, even as he once again made a fervent plea to Chief Minister Pramod Sawant to intervene with his Karnataka counterpart.
“I am repeating again that what we are asking is not cow meat, but the meat of buffaloes and bulls, which are old. When India is a big exporter of beef, I should see no reason why meat should not come to Goa to meet the requirement of the consumers,” Sardinha added.
Demanding that the government open the abattoir and allow the slaughter of cattle, Sardinha reminded the Chief Minister that there are no animals in Goa for slaughter and that the state meets its requirement of cattle from across the border.
