TMC MP Mahua Moitra Approaches Calcutta HC Over Cattle Slaughter Permission for Bakri Eid
A major political and legal controversy has erupted in West Bengal after Trinamool Congress (TMC) leaders Mahua Moitra and Advocate Akhruzzaman challenged the state government’s recent cattle slaughter regulations ahead of Eid-ul-Azha.
