PM's remarks on cow vigilantes outrageous, offensive: Harsh BJP must apologize for insult to 'gau rakshaks' 8/16/2016 11:37:53 PM Early Times Report Jammu, Aug 16: Taking strong exception to the remarks of PM Narendra Modi against cow vigilantes, Harsh Dev Singh chairman JKNPP and former minister observed that the said comments had deeply hurt the sentiments of various cow protection groups besides a cross section of the society across the country. He said that it was shocking to note that the head of the nation should make such offending rather insulting statement that 80% of the cow vigilantes were anti social elements and that the states should prepare dossiers of such groups. He said that equally astonishing was the statement of the Prime Minister that more cow die by eating plastic than by butchering. He said that the Prime Minister had further insulted the 'gau rakshaks' by saying that such groups indulged in crimes by the night and masqueraded as cow protectors during the day. Strongly condemning the statement of PM Narendra Modi, Harsh Dev Singh said that while any group or association of people could have certain mischievous elements, it was highly offensive and unfair to dub the class of 'Cow protection groups' as anti social. He said that the PM's statement that 80 % of such people are criminals and anti social amounted to rebuking 80 % of Hindu population as all Hindus stand for cow protection and worship it. He said that by making such statement the Prime Minister had not only disappointed his avid supporters but had largely annoyed and offended them. He said that the statement of the VHP working President, Parveen Togadi that PM's statement amounted to 'social profiling of Hindus' and that it further "amounted to clean chit to cow butchers" needed due attention of the Prime Minister. Reminding the Prime Minsiter Narendra Modi of his election time speeches wherein he accused the UPA Govt. of ushering 'Pink revolution' by promotion of sale and export of beef and smuggling of cows, Harsh Dev Singh regretted that even the tallest leader of BJP had abandoned its philosophy and slogans merely for political considerations. He further demanded strict implementation of the laws on cow protection, beef ban and prevention of cow trafficking. Cautioning the BJP to shun the policy of duplicity and deceit, Singh said that the people still remembered its dubious role in sacking two govt. advocates namely Vishal Sharma and Promokh Seth for having defended the law on beef ban. He sought an apology from BJP for insulting the cow protection groups.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
