Go Raksha: RSS chief calls for nationwide ban on cow slaughter.

We demand all-India ban on cow slaughter: RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat.

Adarsh Jain| HENB | New Delhi | April 10, 2017:: The RSS Sarsanghachalak (Chief) Mohan Bhagwat on Sunday supported a countrywide ban on cow slaughter and more effective measures for its compliance even as he strongly denounced violent vigilantism and lawlessness in the name of cow protection.

“Our wish is that there should be a law against cow slaughter across India,” Bhagwat said while speaking at an event to observe the birth anniversary of Lord Mahavir here.

However, he said nothing should be done that hurt the beliefs of some people. “There should be no violence. It only defames efforts of cow protectors.

The work of cow conservation should be carried out while completely obeying the law and the Constitution,” Bhagwat said. He added that cow slaughter was a vice and must come to an end but added, “It has to be done through legal means without hurting any individual.”

Bhagwat’s remarks come at a time when the saffron outfit has launched a countrywide campaign to protect cows.

They also come in the wake of alleged vigilantism, like the recent Alwar incident where a man was lynched by a mob.

RSS have been trying to raise the issue of Cow Protection in order to ban Cow slaughter through various movements (Go Raksha Andolan) through decades after its inception in 1925.

Gujarat recently announced severe punishment for cow slaughter and several other states have also done so. “Many states where RSS functionaries have been in power have enacted such a law,” Bhagwat said and expressed confidence that other governments would follow suit by dealing with “local complexities”.

From a source it is delivered that RSS in Bengal and Kerala is secretly surveying the numbers of Swaymsevaks (volunteering cadres) habituated to consume beef and kara-beef and the farmer families attached to RSS who usually sell the old cow-ox-bullocks to the butchers.

RSS has the planning to setup many cow shelters to accommodate old cow-ox-bullocks in order to save them from slaughtering menace and to run profitable schemes to make manure, medicines and insect repealant  using cow dung, cow urine and panchagavya.
