Vishwa Hindu Parishad spokesperson Vinod Bansal said that the Rajasthan government has already created this ministry. "We will be meeting all state governments in the country and maximum possible MLAs from every state to push our cause that cow slaughter should be banned and a ministry protecting cow, promotion and augmentation of its breed should be constituted."
