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

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

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.

Parliament not bound by Centre’s sedition undertaking: SC| India News

New Delhi Parliament not bound by Centre’s sedition undertaking: SC The Supreme Court on Friday said that the government’s decision to review the offence of sedition under the old Indian Penal Code (IPC) cannot prevent Parliament from introducing it in the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) as the legislature functions independent of the executive. The observation came while the court was hearing a batch of public interest litigations (PIL) challenging various provisions of BNS, including section 152 that criminalises a host of actions that endanger sovereignty, integrity and unity of the country. The petitioners referred to an undertaking given by Centre in 2022 before the top court that section 124A of the IPC relating to the offence of sedition would be reviewed. Based on this undertaking, the court had in May 2022 ordered all pending trials, appeals and proceedings before any court under section 124A to be kept in abeyance. The bench of Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant and justice Joymalya Bagchi said, “Parliament is not bound by the government’s undertaking. These are executive …
