After meeting Yogi Adityanath, meat traders in UP want strike to be called off
Declaring that the government will only initiate action against illegal slaughterhouses, Sirajuddin Qureshi, who led the delegation claimed that licensed slaughterhouses would not be troubled.
Lucknow, March 30: A delegation of meat traders from Uttar Pradesh who met Chief Minister Adityanath Yogi claimed that the meeting was a success and appealed for the ongoing strike to be called off. Declaring that the government will only initiate action against illegal slaughterhouses, Sirajuddin Qureshi, who led the delegation claimed that licensed slaughterhouses would not be troubled.
Adityanath Yogi had called for a meeting with meat traders following the indefinite strike called for by those in the industry. The crackdown on illegal slaughterhouses and the consequent strike by meat traders and sellers had created a meat crisis in the state. "Our meeting with the Chief Minister was very successful. He assured us that licensed slaughterhouses will not be troubled. I appeal to the protesters to return to work and start working with a proper licence. The UP government will help you procure one," said Sirajuddin Qureshi after the meeting.
UP minister Siddharth Nath Singh who was also part of the meeting claimed that the delegates were happy to support the crackdown on illegal slaughterhouses and stood by the government. "All the delegates supported the Chief Minister and said that as citizens of India it was their duty to ensure that nothing illegal was allowed," he said. Singh also added that the ban was only on illegal slaughterhouses and anyone who troubled legally running meat shops and slaughterhouses would be punished severely.
The meeting took place on Thursday after traders' association members submitted a memorandum expressing their wish to meet with the Chief Minister to bring the standoff to an end. While an appeal has been made for the protest to be called off, it is to be seen if all associations respond to the same.
