BJP came under attack from VHP for allegedly facilitating a cow for slaughter, while Oppn has demanded arrest of VHP followers who ransacked Muslim family’s house on Bakrid.
An impression is created that Bakrid sacrifice doesn't merely symbolise the violent nature of Islam—which inevitably 'hurts non-violent Hindu sentiments'—but it also crosses the acceptable boundaries of law.
Now that people don’t really look forward to a gift of meat from a wealthy neighbour, does the purported rationale of feeding the poor still validate animal sacrifice?
The goat originates from western Punjab and is known for its distinctive white coat, hearty appetite, and ability to adapt to varied diets, which has helped it stand out in a competitive market.
Around 700 goats ‘saved’ by Jains during Bakrid are living in luxury at a Baghpat shelter dedicated to them. ‘This kind of life is not possible for many people in this country.’
At least 36 Ahmadiyyas have been arrested and nine FIRs filed against them. These people, mostly from Pakistan’s Punjab province, have been charged with illegally performing animal sacrifice on Eid al-Adha.
Delhi’s Jain community raised Rs 15 lakh and then went to Old Delhi markets posing as Muslims. They bargained hard, bought 124 goats, and have kept them at the now-famous temple in Chandni Chowk.
As many as 21 people have been arrested for violence that took place Saturday. A BRS stronghold since 2004, Medak went to BJP this year in general elections.
According to a circular issued by the civic body, 300 buffaloes or 'big animals' will be permitted to be sacrificed over the next three days at the Deonar abattoir.
During a meeting with senior officials to review the Covid situation in the state, CM Yogi Adityanath directed them to make all necessary arrangements in view of the festival.
The last time this matter flared up was when Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, in a very similar directive in April, called for the relocation of stray dogs in the capital.
Finance ministry says the proposed revamp will focus on structural reforms, rate rationalisation & ease of living, & will be deliberated upon in the coming weeks.
The project is meant to be a ‘protective shield that will keep expanding’, the PM said. It is on the lines of the ‘Golden Dome’ announced by Trump, it is learnt.
Now that both IAF and PAF have made formal claims of having shot down the other’s aircraft in the 87-hour war in May, we can ask a larger question: do such numbers really matter?
Stringent laws against cow slaughter must be enacted in Tripura at the earliest.
