Three years later, the Bill was withdrawn by the Siddaramaiah-led Congress government."I will discuss this matter with Chief Minister and if this pandemic situation eases, by next session, if not by upcoming assembly session, we will try to bring Karnataka Prevention of Slaughter and Preservation of Cattle Bill," Chauhan added.( With inputs from ANI )
