Making cow slaughter an election issue, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Thursday announced that if voted to power in Haryana, it would make the crime as punishable as murder.

“The punishment for cow slaughter will be the same as that for murdering a human being,” said state BJP president Ram Bilas Sharma, while releasing the party manifesto.

A number of cases of cow slaughter are being reported from Mewat district, which has Muslim majority. At present, the maximum punishment for the crime is five years with fine which may extend up to  Rs. 5,000. If it is equated with murder, even the minimum punishment will be life term.
