Backing the Animal Welfare Board of India’s advisory to celebrate ‘Cow Hug Day’ on February 14, Union minister Giriraj Singh said that ‘everyone should love cows’.
“A very good decision has been taken, cows should be hugged. I welcome the decision of Purushottam Rupala ji’s ministry. We all should love and hug the cow,” the minister said.
But some others say that this is nothing but politics. The BJP and the RSS are indirectly promoting their ideology in the name of Hugging the cow they condemned.
This is like promoting the BJP for the coming Assembly polls in the 9 states they charged.
Aiming to celebrate the ‘Vedic tradition’ and the immense benefits a cow possesses, the Animal Welfare Board of India has urged people to celebrate ‘Cow Hug Day’ on February 14 which is celebrated as Valentine’s Day.
“We all know that the Cow is the backbone of Indian culture and rural economy, sustains our life, and represents cattle wealth and biodiversity. It is known as “Kamdhenu” and “Gaumata” because of its nourishing nature like mother, the giver of all providing riches to humanity,” the Animal Welfare Board informed in a statement.
“Cow is the mother of the world and it is the only animal in the world whose urine and dung also work as medicine.
One can get rid of many diseases with its mere touch, that’s why I would also like that people should celebrate Cow Hug Day instead of Valentine’s Day on February 14,” he further said.
