Congress MLA wants cow to be acknowledged as National Animal to prevent social misgivings



April 11: In a significant development a Congress MLA in Gujarat has urged that the cow ought to be acknowledged as a national animal and a law should be ordained to prohibit cow slaughter throughout the nation.
"What stops the BJP from bringing a law banning cow slaughter in states like Andhra Pradesh, Meghalaya, Manipur, Mizoram, West Bengal and Goa?" a statement citing Dariyapur MLA Gyasuddin Shaikh revealed in Ahmedabad.
"As per the Hindu belief, 33 crore gods and goddesses reside in the body of a cow, and therefore the BJP government should declare it as a national animal," Shaikh asserted. He also censured the BJP’s tactics of taking advantage of the cow to divide society.
He observed that while the Congress government led by Chimanbhai Patel was the first to introduce the law prohibiting the slaughter of cow in Gujarat, the BJP government revised the act twice but has taken no measures to aid sustain cows.

"Gujarat BJP government sold off grazing land to industrialists, forcing cows to roam on the road and eat plastic garbage. BJP government gives no fund to cow shelter homes. BJP is only trying to polarise votes in the name of cows," he further stated.
Articulating his disgust over the means in which people are being slain in the name of cows, Gyasuddin revealed, "Muslims respect Hindu's religious sentiments and do not indulge in slaughtering cows. But police declare they have seized beef even without FSL test which hurts Hindu's religious sentiments. Police should understand the sensitive nature of the issue."
"The way people are killed by groups in the name of cows is a serious matter...even when our Constitution gives us right to food and follow our religion in our own way, but Muslims still do not indulge in cow slaughter in order not to hurt Hindu's religious sentiments," he as well stated.
Shaikh disclosed there are numerous Muslims who are engaged in nurturing cows and have even been acknowneldged for their work by the state government as well as the Swaminarayan Gurukul .
