If this is the situation of cows in Karnataka, then it is need of the hour that Hindus should unite together and establish Hindu Rashtra by ousting Congress rulers ! – Editor
Kundapur (Karnataka): “A cow is like a mother to the Hindus as per our forefathers. There is no protection for cows due to present vote bank politics and greed for power,” said Satyajit Suratkal, convener of Hindu Jagarana Vedike.
He was speaking at a protest meet against cow slaughter held by Hindu Jagarana Vedike, Koteshwar at Shastri circle here on Thursday October 24.
“Though Anti-Cow Slaughter Act came into existence in the year 1964, cows are still being slaughtered. The government is registering cases against one community, just to appease the other community. We have accepted the principles of Sanathana Dharma and we will not be afraid even if hundreds of such cases are registered against us,” he said.
“Cows are known as walking gods but thousands of cows are slaughtered here daily. The Vedike strongly condemns their slaughter and has been creating awareness in the society. The world has put forth its demand for cattle-based agriculture. It is not possible to imagine our lives without cows. It has been proved that cow’s urine is capable of curing cancer. Yet there is no protection for cows,” he lamented.
“Ironically, nowhere in the three holy books of Muslims is it written that cow’s meat should be consumed. Cow slaughter is banned completely in Kashmir. The government here is trying to appease one community by hurting the feelings of the majority community,” he added.
“The animal lovers and other activists who condemn slaughter of sheep in temples are unable to see the slaughter of cows. Officials do not go to slaughterhouses. Ours is a democratic country which has to maintain communal harmony. Why then is the law different for different people? Everybody should be bound by law. Only then will the true meaning of communal harmony be understood,” he said.
“Why should we be scared when we fight for our religious beliefs and when we do not steal cattle, idols or kidnap children?” he asked.
Bhaskar Siddapura, convener of Hindu Jagarana Vedike and deputy convener Rajesh Koteshwar were present. District convener Dhananjay Koteshwar welcomed and gave a key note address. Arvind Koteshwar conducted the programme.
