JAMMU, Apr 30: Warning agitation against the authorities if it failed to enforce the law in letter and sprit against the cow slaughter and banning of bovine animals smuggling to Kashmir Valley, VHP today accused the Government of showing total leniency towards the bovine smugglers in the State which has become a cause of concern for the people in this region.
“We demand that the law regarding ban on cow slaughter be implemented in letter and spirit in the State’’ VHP general secretary, Dr Sham Lal Gupta told reporters here today.
He said the bovine smugglers have become so emboldened in the State that they are not afraid when they put a head of a slaughtered cow on face book. There is a lot of resentment among the Hindus in the country against the same as they worship cow for being environment friendly and promoting human prosperity on this universe.
He said the VHP and its sister organizations are ready to give any sacrifice for protection of cow. He said bovine smuggling and slaughter is on increase and the local cow which has been adjudged as best cow in the world is facing extinction due to bovine smuggling.
He said cow slaughter for export of beef to foreign countries has forced the farmers to commit suicide in various parts of the country as their land has become barren due to lack of fertilizer.
He demanded that there should be valid permission for transportation of milking animals who should be transported only during broad day light, the police officers at Nakas should ensure that the animals being carried are containing proper permissions and strict action be taken against the officials promoting bovine smuggling.
Dr Sham said VHP will also launch awareness programmes all over in this regard and also raise Gou Raksha Dal to ensure that incidents of cow slaughter and bovine smuggling do not take place.
Dr V K Gupta, Vishesh Samparak Parmukh VHP, Rakesh Sharma and Rajesh Gupta leaders of Bajrang Dal were also present in the press conference.
