Congress leader Husain Dalwai says Muslims not bound to accept cow as ‘mother’ amid national animal debate

Published by Webster

Amid the debate over granting cows the status of a “national animal”, Congress leader Husain Dalwai on Tuesday said that while some people may consider cows as mothers, Muslims are not obliged to accept that belief.  Speaking to IANS, Dalwai said, “Earlier, the cow was referred to as a state animal, and now it is being called a mother. Even if Muslims take a step back, there is still an attempt to push them further. You may call the cow a mother, but we consider it an important animal of this country and a state animal. What is wrong with that? Those who described it as a state animal have said the right thing.” Disclaimer: We do not own any of the content, ideas, images, or text presented here.

Published by Parlour News

Senior Congress leader Adhir Chowdhury on Sunday sought the intervention of West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari over the state government’s public notice on animal slaughter guidelines, as it has caused “confusion and unrest”, particularly among the minority community in Murshidabad district.

Suggesting a practical resolution, Chowdhury asked the chief minister to direct the Murshidabad district administration to identify and demarcate specific locations where people could practise customs associated with their religious faith. “Such identified and demarcated locations would be used solely for customary practises associated with the religious grouping. This approach will be an ideal solution for putting to rest the unease the notice may be causing,” he wrote. The May 13 notice reiterates that no slaughter of bulls, bullocks, cows, calves or male and …
