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.
After dominating India’s crude imports since 2023, Russian supplies slowed amid US sanctions, but a 30-day ‘waiver’ amid West Asia tensions could now push flows back towards 2 mbpd.
Trump has ushered in the age of humiliation. His method is to push around America’s friends rudely and publicly. He knows none of them can afford to fight back.
Stringent laws against cow slaughter must be enacted in Tripura at the earliest.
