Das, however, stressed that there should be no violence in the garb of cow vigilantism and said cattle smugglers may be involved in the recent events of violence over cow protection.
“The entire Sangh Parivar is on the same page on the issue of cow protection. Those who consider India as their country will treat cow as their mother,” Das told PTI during an interview.
On whether there were differences in the Sangh Parivar over the issue of cow slaughter and cow census, Das said, “The Sangh Parivar is united on this matter. Cow is our mother. Those who are living in India and are Indians, those who consider India as their country, for them cow is their mother.”
Das’ comments come in the backdrop of a controversy over cow vigilantism and attacks on Dalits over the issue.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on August 6 had hit out at cow vigilantes, saying he felt enraged at such “anti-social elements” who indulged in crimes by the night and masqueraded as cow protectors by day.
Modi’s comment had drawn sharp reactions from VHP international working president Pravin Togadia, who said by dubbing them as “anti-socials” the PM had insulted them.
“What our Prime Minister has said on this issue is right. You may believe in any religion, any caste, but cow is our mother and we should protect cows. But, in the name of cow vigilance if someone is using violence, then that will not be tolerated.
“I personally feel those who are involved in cattle smuggling and export are involved in these crimes. This angle should be probed,” Das said.
Das said it was due to the vote bank and appeasement politics of a certain community by some sections of political parties that this awareness programme about cow and its benefits have taken a hit.
“Political parties should not see everything under the lens of vote bank politics. The milk that we get from cow is beneficial for people from all communities be it Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians. A politician who is saying this is also having the milk of the cow,” Das said.
The Chief Minister said he had already asked the police administration in his state to stop any instance of cow smuggling.
“I have given clear instructions to the police that there will be no instance of cow smuggling from the state. Recently we seized few trucks carrying cows for smuggling through Bengal. In Jharkhand there should be awareness about cow smuggling, there should be awareness in West Bengal too,” Das said.
He said it was due to the degradation of moral values that social evils such as rapes, cow slaughter and other evils are happening in the society.
“Be it rapes, illegal cow slaughter or other social evils, they are result of degradation of moral values of the society. We need to raise awareness about it. These things are a conspiracy to stop the development process started by our Prime Minister,” Das said.
On the opinion of some people who are on a different page on the issue of cow slaughter, Das said, “By doing this a section is only pursuing vote bank politics and there should be awareness against this.”

@OP , how this particular news belongs to world affairs ?
As per Hinduism any living being considered holy & worship able as mother but cow has got some religious importance being a useful animals during old times for various reasons...
Rest the cult of sand cant comprehend the compassion the Hinduism profess to practice....

If I was an Indian Muslim living in India, I would not eat cow meat only to show respect to my Hindu neighbour. In Islam, it is not a religious obligation to slaughter cows and eat them, I can live without it, I am sure others can as well.

People should learn to be tolerant, especially the ones who are killing and lynching over suspected slaughter of cows. You are no different from religious extremists of other faiths who carry out similar acts.

That is very nice of you buddy. Thank you for such a outlook.

All this cow incidents are because of goons who are killing people out of political vendetta or to create religious intolerance.

Most of this Gau Rakshaks are goons and thugs affiliated to political parties.

As a Hindu i have no problem with people eating Beef in fact many Hindus themselves eat beef. The problem is only when someone forces me to eat which is not the case.

 

[Soulspeek]

Not eating cow beef out of respect for hindus is one thing BUT to call it our mother is hilarious!

You can expect non hindus to not eat cow beef. I am also in favour avoiding cow beef but please dont expect them to call this animal their mother and worship it.

 

[[Bregs]]

Jharkand has many pressing issues regarding people welfare including naxalite problem too to be looked after by govt. CM should leave this cow belief issues to respective faiths and human beings

 

[X-2.]

Why cow is only there Mata ?
No goats buffalo etc part of there beliefs

Thats fine but those who eat then they are beaten by Hindu mobs
Need tolerance on other side as wl !
I think if any Hindu in pak eat pork no one will object that as Muslims we prohibited to eat pork

Lets review your questions point wise...

1. Why only cow mata and not goat bufallo etc..

- Reverse question can be why only Allah? Why not any other God? You can say that only Allah is the true God. Hindus can say that for them only Cow is holier than any other animal.

Its a religious thingy. Logic plays no role in religion.

2. In Pakistan, Hindus are allowed to eat pork. Why beef banned in India?

- There is a difference between pork and cow beef. In Pakistan, Muslims have no objection to some people eating pork because pork is not holy in Islam. It is considered to be unclean. Cow is different. It is not considered to be unclean but holy. So killing an unholy swine is different from killing a holy cow.

3. India export cow meat too...

- There is a big confusion here Sir. In India bufallo meat is also called beef. India exports carabeef not cow beef.

Why is only cow holy for Hindus ? U hv brain and anyone can see there is nothing in difference of cow with rest of mammals ???
We only consider there meat is clean to eat
Pork meat is not good for health and unclean so we don't
It's nothing like to humiliate other religion
We don't hv objection who so ever eat pork dog etc because it's there choice so u consider where we stand
U can't compare god wd animal as majority of world population believe in one god

Cow is the source of milk for the majority of the rual population. A living cow can server more people than a dead one. In ancient times hence cow was equated to mother and it was prohibited to kill.

Cow is the source of milk for the majority of the rual population. A living cow can server more people than a dead one. In ancient times hence cow was equated to mother and it was prohibited to kill. India being majorly an agro economy since ancient times cows played a dominant role in daily food practises from curd to butten to ghee to milk. with the advent of time only at later stages buffalo and other cattles were included.

That is the logic behind why hindus consider cow as their mother till this day because cow feeds you milk like a mother does to you in your infancy. In hinduism mother is considered equivalent to god.

But goat and buffalo also do the same job
So why they are not hindus mata? Why only cow ?

Goat and Buffalo were never a prominent milk sources in ancient India. Cow milk is considered to be more healthy then buffalo and goat milk. It was only in later stages that buffalo and goat were introduced. Still the cow milk is considered healtheir than goat or buffallow milk.

I agree with him.

They should ideally treat cows as equal to human (or any life). Life is life - regardless of its form.

We need not be ashamed of our culture. The Japanese don't apologize for eating sushi, a half boiled fish item. The Chinese are not ashamed to eat dogs. The Russians have not stopped binge drinking VODKA.

Why do we need to cringe when we respect the cow?

Pork meat is not good for health and unclean so we don't

This is not true.

I can clean pork meat and have it tested in lab for microbes. Even if it totally sterilized, a practicing Muslim will not touch it and instead go for any other unsterilized meat. The reason is religion. And that is ok. But please accept that it's religion. Honesty helps.
