Prakash Ambedkar, grandson of Dalit icon B R Ambedkar, today said the BJP and RSS should take care of the cattle, who are past their prime but cannot be slaughtered, owing to the ban to this effect imposed by the BJP-led government in Maharashtra.

"BJP and RSS should take care of such cattle who are past their prime," Ambedkar, who heads Bharip Bahujan Mahasangh, said addressing a rally of farmers and party workers here.

He also led a protest march to the district collectorate along with the cattle.

State government recently imposed ban on slaughtering of cows along with bulls and bullocks under the Maharashtra Animal Preservation Bill.
