Why issue of cow slaughter raised right before elections? | Master Stroke(03.12.2018)

A police Inspector was attacked and shot dead by a Hindu mob protesting against alleged cow slaughter while a young man was gunned down in unexplained circumstances here in Uttar Pradesh on Monday.

The violence erupted after Hindu activists went berserk alleging that some cows had been slaughtered by a community, police said. Enraged, they loaded the carcasses on tractor trolleys and jammed traffic on a busy road.
