| Message | Mr. Speaker, Geraja has always been an influence on our legal codes with regards to animal welfare and livestock farming, but we think it best to keep the regulation on at least a nominally secular footing. Changing the laws now could end up causing alarm and confusion. Vijay Tripathi Chairman of the Potensian National Congress |
