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.

Report on impact of AI emergence—drawing upon depositions from several ministries—confirms that the developments come in the absence of AI laws or considerations over them.
It’s easy to understand why the government can’t speak the hard truth. When this war ends, as all wars do, India’s interests will lie with both the winner and the loser.
Stringent laws against cow slaughter must be enacted in Tripura at the earliest.
