Hindutva organisations are enraged over these orders. According to many Hindus, the orders have been issued as the activists were giving information about cow smuggling to the Police. Bajrang Dal’s Chief Puneeth Attavar reacted, “We have been informing the Police about cow smuggling so far; will not do so anymore. We will take action ourselves now onwards. Externment orders have been issued only because the activists provided information about cow smuggling. Are we expected to remain silent when illegal activities are happening in front of us ? There is a Government order against cow slaughter. After informing the Police about cow smuggling, it has stopped, and our activists have been issued these notices”.
