Millions of animals are slaughtered all over the country on Bakrid (Eid-ul-Zuha), but, it is being heard that this time round millions of cow progeny have already been ghettoized and congressed at different places in Bharat to be put to the long knives on this Eid on June 29. Ahead of the festival, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad in their general meeting demanded cow slaughtering to be prohibited this Eid.
The VHP Secretary General Shri Milind Parande, in the meeting at Raipur, said, “In other countries around the world, cows are not slaughtered on Eid, then why this conspiracy and obduracy to slaughter cows in India, Pakistan & Bangladesh only? Definitely, in the name of Eid, gruesome butchering of cows is done to offend and wound the Hindu sentiments,”
He added, “This time also they have such a design which is unacceptable to the Hindu society under any circumstances. Bharat is the land of Bhagwan Shri Ram, Shri Krishna, Shri Mahavir, Shri Buddha and Shri Guru Nanak Dev ji where Hindus are committed to protecting the cow progeny.”
Recently, in Nanded (Maharashtra), Muslims gave false information to Bajrang Dal about keeping cow progeny at a place. When the unarmed Bajrang Dal Karyakartas reached there, they were ambushed by already armed Muslims, in which a Bajrang Dal Karyakarta was also killed. The entire Gow-Bhakt Hindu society needs to beware of such intrigues and plots.
There is a tradition in the country to protect the cow progeny. The verdicts of the Supreme Court and the Bharatiya laws prohibit cow slaughter in the country.
In a press note released by the VHP, the organisation said, “Vishva Hindu Parishad urges upon all the State Governments of the country to stop the butchery and massacre of the cow progeny on Eid-ul-Zuha, otherwise, the Bajrang Dal Karyakartas are determined to protect the cow progeny democratically”.
It is pertinent to mention that, Karnataka Minister Priyank Kharge, who is the son of Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, has courted controversy for asking police to crack down on ‘gau-rakshaks’ in the State. The development came days ahead of the Islamic festival of Eid-al-Adha (also known as Bakri-eid).
He claimed that the transportation of cattle is being obstructed despite having valid documents, and asked police to take action in such cases.
During a meeting with State police officials in Kalaburgi, Priyank Kharge directed, “Those who wear shawls, take the law into their own hands and say they are from these Dals (Bajrang Dal), kick them and put them behind bars.”
“If there’s anyone who’s a self-proclaimed leader and who spews venom in the name of communal issues, then action should be taken against them. I don’t want unnecessary communal riots,” he was quoted as saying.
“The law is very clear on the transportation of livestock. Be it within city limits or rural areas. If they have the right documents, don’t harass them,” Priyank Kharge was quoted as saying.
Recently the VHP in its meeting demanded the speedy enaction of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) across the country.
Alok Kumar, the Central Working President of VHP in the meeting said that it is a matter of satisfaction that the Commission has invited views from all stakeholders on this subject. The UCC should be enacted after obtaining and considering suggestions of all shades of Bhartiya Society soon.
Talking about the delayed enactment of the law, Kumar said, that it is a matter of regret that the MPs and MLAs who take the oath of “bearing true faith and allegiance to the Constitution of India” have in these 73 years of the Constitution failed to bring UCC for all citizens of Bharat.
Referring to the judgement of the Supreme Court, Kumar said, the Supreme Court of India in the case of Sarla Mudgal emphasized the need to enact the UCC at the earliest. Many High Courts have repeatedly insisted upon the necessity of UCC. The Court reminded that under Article 51A, it is the Fundamental Duty of all citizens “to promote harmony and the spirit of common brotherhood amongst all the people of India transcending religious diversities”.
In Bharat, all citizens are governed by common laws including criminal Laws, property, contract and commercial laws. There is no reason as to why the family laws should remain the only exception, he added.
