NagpurVishwa Hindu Parishad international general secretary Surendra Jain on Sunday alleged that ‘gau-rakshaks’, who should be felicitated for trying to stop cow slaughter. are being implicated in false cases by police.
“Gau-rakshaks (cow protectors) are doing the work that the police department needs to do. They are coming out on roads to stop cow slaughter. They should be felicitated for the same,” Jain told reporters in Nagpur on Sunday.
“Unfortunately, the police books gau-rakshaks and frames wrong charges against them to hide their failures,” he said.
Jain also slammed the Congress for supporting cow slaughter under Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi.
“Mahatma Gandhi was opposed to cow slaughter but Congress under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi is organising beef parties across the state,” he said.
On construction of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, Jain said, “We believe that the central government in the coming two years will bring a law for constructing Ram Mandir in Ayodhya.”
Jain pitched for a phase-wise implementation of M S Swaminathan committee report to solve the agrarian crisis in the country.
Cattle trade ban does not apply to Goa: Parrikar
Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar on Sunday said that the ban on sale of cattle for slaughter rule does not apply to Goa as “there are no cattle markets in the state.”
“Ban on sale of cattle for slaughter rule does not apply to Goa as there are no cattle markets in the state,” Parrikar said.
The Goa government has also decided to write to the Centre raising objections to the recent notification banning the sale and purchase of cattle at animal markets for slaughter.
Earlier, the Supreme Court issued a notice to the Centre on the plea challenging the notification banning sale and purchase of cattle at animal markets for slaughter.
The Supreme Court has given the Centre two weeks to file its response and posted the matter for hearing on July 11.
The Supreme Court, however, has not put a stay on the Centre’s notification as of now.
The Centre told the court that its intention was “to create a regulatory regime all over the country” and that it would file a detailed reply.
