It said it will demand immediate and complete ban on cow slaughter pan India and shutdown of all slaughter houses, complete ban on meat export and stop killing of innocent animals in the name of religion.
Various academicians, scholars, social activists, politicians including Swami Agnivesh, Swami Aryavesh, Jain Muni Lokesh, Arif Mohammad khan will participate in the dharna "Ahinsha Mayayagya", which will be organised on September 21 at Jantar Mantar here.
