Telangana Hyderabad - Cattle traders protest against police attempts to seize animals

SIBY JEYYA
On Friday, May 31, tensions rose in Santoshnagar's old city as cattle sellers opposed police attempts to confiscate their animals in the evening. A large police detachment had arrived at Edi Bazaar and attempted to seize the animals on the excuse that vendors lacked legal certificates.
 
There was a tense mood at the market once the police came, which was followed by the appearance of the All india Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM). Several party workers, along with AIMIM party leaders, had gone to Santosh nagar in Hyderabad's Old City to support local cattle.

Finally, the cops cleared the area. AIMIM party MLC mirza Rahmath Baig, former corporator Samad Abdad, and other local officials arrived at the Santoshnagar police station, where DCP (South East) D Janaki also arrived and began a conversation. AIMIM leaders did, however, shout chants outside the police station, but the crisis was resolved when the police yielded and required all dealers to get a livestock certificate provided by veterinary physicians.
While it is unclear what prompted the police to inspect livestock in Santosh nagar unexpectedly, political watchers believe it was an attempt by right-wing organisations like as the Bajrang Dal to stir problems. Such crowds frequently intercept trucks and, despite police involvement, demand forceful measures against livestock traffickers.
 
"They utilise these photos on social media to promote fake information in other states with the last leg of voting. Such concerns are highlighted to incite hostility towards Muslims," the observer stated.
