Cong team to meet Prez on anti-cow slaughter bill
A Congress delegation from Karnataka, headed by its opposition leader in the assembly Siddaramaiah, will meet President Pratibha Patil on August 16 to plead her not to give assent to the anti-cow slaughter bill.
Two days ago, Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappaa had met the President seeking assent for the Bill, which is also being opposed by JDS.
Senior Congress leaders on Wednesday held a meeting to work out strategy against the BJP government in the state.
"The confrontation with the government has just begun. We are drawing up an action plan," KPCC President R V Deshpande told reporters.
"A Congress delegation will meet the President in Delhi on August 16 and plead her not to give her nod to Karnataka's bill banning cow slaughter," he said.
