Former Maharashtra Minister and Congress MLA Naseem Khan said, "If for cow protection, we impose a strict law like National Security Act (NSA) during our (in Madhya Pradesh) rule then NSA should also be imposed on all those who commit atrocities on innocents in the name of cow protection."
Authorities have slapped the stringent National Security Act (NSA) against three men accused of killing a cow at Khandwa in Madhya Pradesh, police said on Tuesday.
The trio, identified as Shakeel, Nadeem, and Azam, were sent to jail by a local court on Monday.
"Acting on a tip-off that a few persons were allegedly involved in the illegal act of slaughtering a cow, police raided a place at Kharkali village near here last Friday and seized a large knife and beef from the spot," Moghat police station in-charge, Mohan Singore said.
