India's minister for women and child development Maneka Gandhi has claimed that money earned from illegal animal slaughter is funding terrorism.

She cited a study handed to the Uttar Pradesh police in north India that shows the money was siphoned off to sponsor terrorist organisations in the country.

"Money through trade of slaughtered animals goes into terrorism, therefore goes into killing us, why are we allowing this?"

She, however, clarified that it was not any single community but people from all sections who were involved in slaughtering cows.
Slaughter of cows, which are considered holy by several communities, is strictly banned in many of the northern states.
