This is raising questions over the genuine work of cow protection. RSS requests the citizens of the country not to associate or get influenced by such handful of opportunistic people in the name of cow protection. We also urge the state governments to take strict legal action against such people," RSS publicity head Manmohan Vaidya said.
Vaidya added, "India is an agricultural country and cow has always been the mainstay of agriculture. The importance of cow-based organic farming has increased when the entire world is suffering from chemical fertilisers and insecticide. Therefore, Hindu as well as other communities are committed towards cow protection."
