Karnataka Muslim and Christian Groups Demand Withdrawal of Anti-Cow Slaughter and Anti-Conversion Laws
Muslim and Christian groups in Karnataka are intensifying demands for the Congress government to withdraw the state's anti-cow slaughter and anti-conversion laws ahead of the December Winter Session. They seek increased reservation quotas—Muslims request raising 2B category reservation from 4% to 8%, while Christians demand a separate 1% OBC quota. The communities also want clarity on the Karnataka Hate Speech Bill. Despite initial withdrawal efforts, opposition from Hindu religious leaders stalled progress, prompting coordinated protests.
