Yogi Adityanath launched his first movement against illegal slaughterhouses in the Gorakhpur region in 2002 when residents of Humayunpur locality drew his attention to the illegal slaughter of animals and urged him to get an abbatoir closed.
The volunteers of Hindu Yuva Vahini (HYV), an organisation floated by Adityanath, were mobilised to launch an agitation against the slaughterhouse in question.
“After instructions from ‘Chhotey Maharaj’ (the name by which Adityanath is popular in the region), we organised dharna (sit-in) near the gate of the slaughterhouse,” Hindu Yuva Vahini state president Sunil Singh told HT on Tuesday.
“When the slaughterhouse owner refused to relent, we organised a demonstration near the district magistrate’s office. Residents too joined the agitation. Soon, it became a public movement. A number of Muslim families, whose homes were located adjacent to the slaughterhouse, supported our movement. Finally, the district administration sealed the slaughterhouse and the illegal occupants were evicted,” he said.View more:-Bulk Sms Service provider
After tasting success, Adityanath decided to broadbase the movement against the illegal slaughterhouses. A delegation of farmers told him that the gangs running illegal slaughterhouses often lifted a large number of cows, calf and bulls from grazing grounds, loaded them on trucks and transported to the slaughter houses.
