Chennai : Even though there is no law banning cow slaughter in Tamil Nadu, a group of lawyers staged a ‘beef eating’ protest in the Madras High Court campus here. They calle it a ‘pre-emptive’ measure in the wake of ban on cow slaughter by Maharashtra Government.

This protest comes in the wake of Hindu Munnani leader Ramagopalan had demanded that Tamil Nadu should follow Maharashtra and enact a similar law. The lawyers felt the state government may heed the call and impose a ban.
