Bengaluru: Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president D.K. Shivakumar has said that the cow slaughter ban bill will have a serious ramification on leather industry. He stated that if his government comes to power they will scrap the "anti-people and anti-farmer" Act.

"There is concern that the leather industry will be impacted. Awareness campaigns on the impact that the ban will have on farmers and leather industry will be held across the State after the gram panchayat elections.

The cattle that are not suitable for farming and farmers should be purchased by the State government. Cows can be owned by the government representatives," Shivakumar stated.

He further added that India accounts for 11 per cent of the world's total leather products. "Now the whole industry is closing. Jobs in this sector will also be negatively impacted. What is the plan to provide alternative livelihood arrangements for those employees," Shivakumar asked.
