Terrorism is not a Crime, Cow Slaughter is, Says BJP MP

July 31

Mob lynching across India by cow vigilantes and the politics over it is making the situation worse.

Commenting on the mob killing cases in Rajasthan’s Alwar, BJP MLA Gyan Dev Ahuja on Monday said cow slaughtering is a bigger crime than terrorism as cows are treated as mothers in India and any ‘misbehaviour’ with them cannot be tolerated.

He had earlier accused the Rajhastan police of the recent case of alleged mob killing in Alwar over suspicion of cow smuggling, in which one Rakbar alias Rakbar Khan died after being thrashed by a cow vigilante group.

Ahuja said that, “Terrorists kill 2-5 people, but cow slaughtering hurts sentiments of several thousand and even lakhs of people.”
