New Delhi:<\/b> Supporting \u201ccow protectors\u201d or \u201cgau-rakshaks\u201d, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) on Tuesday said they are \u201cvictims not tyrants\u201d, adding that the strong meat lobby is trying to malign the holy vow of cow protection.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn last 10 years more than 50 policemen and gau-rakshaks (cow protectors) were killed by the cow killers. These killers or jihadis<\/i> have brutally murdered the innocent committed for the cause of cow protection,\u201d VHP International joint secretary Surendra Jain said.<\/p>\n
Stating that there is no place for violence in the holy resolve to protect the cow, Jain added that everyone including a cow protector has right to self-defence. Cautioning against the conspiracy towards maligning the holy vow of cow-protection by the meat lobby, Jain said, \u201cCow protectors are victims not tyrants as some people are trying to establish\u201d. VHP\u2019s remarks in support of cow protectors comes days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi had said that killing people in the name of cow protection is not acceptable.<\/p>\n
Taking on the organizers of the \u201cNot in My Name\u201d protests, Jain said \u201cthese placard-carrying groups with selfish interests are trying to malign the holy resolve of cow-protection\u201d. \u201cThese people will question our brave soldiers fighting in Kashmir but support Yakub Memon by opposing his death sentence,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
At present, VHP runs more than 450 gaushalas<\/i> (cow shelters) in different parts of the country and more than 1,500 similar shelters are run by its volunteers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
