TIL Desk/National/Jaipur/ Yoga guru and entrepreneur Baba Ramdev has said that ‘gau rakshaks’ (cow protectors) have to come out on streets if police and civil administrations fail to deal strictly with the menace of cow smuggling.
He said that strict action should be taken against those involved in illegal cow slaughter and added that a few “gau rakshaks” go overboard, which malign the image of “90 per cent genuine” people who work for cow protection.
“No one speaks about cow smugglers. Why are cow killers given encouragement. It should never happen. We are not in favour of those having licence for cow slaughter house and those transporting animals,” he told reporters on the sidelines of an event in Jaipur.
Advocating a complete ban on cow slaughter in the country, he said that centre should enact a law on the matter. “Who else can be a bigger ‘rashtra bhakt’ and ‘gau bhakt’ than Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He should enact a law to ban cow slaughter in the country,” Baba Ramdev said.
