UNP today expressed its unhappiness over the August 25 incident where an animal sacrifice was performed at the Munneswaram Kali Kovil. UNP MP M. Swaminathan stated that nowhere in Hinduism is it stated that one should sacrifice animals as a religious ritual.
Swaminathan also claimed that even the Indian Central Government has made it illegal to kill animals for religious purposes.
The UNP urges the government to consider bringing in laws to prohibit killing animals at Hindu and Buddhist religious sites, Swaminathan adds.
