VHP wants ban on cow slaughter, no dams on Ganga

In a press note, the saffron body said only a white revolution can save the farmers and rural India.

During the conclave, in which around 110 seers are debating VHP’s future plans, Swami Satyamitranand suggested that reciting Hanuman Chalisa and reading Sundarakand could help bring down incidents of rape.

Swami Avdeshanand Giri of Juna Akhara praised the government’s Namami Gange Mission, but said it should ensure free flow of the river. Swami Dayanand Das wanted a ban on rafting in Ganga. The seers pointed out that the construction of dams have “destroyed” rivers like Yamuna, and such projects could affect Ganga too.

VHP leader Praveen Togadia asked the BJP government to enact a law banning cow slaughter in India.

“Hindus should keep one roti for cows everyday. In order to address the declining number of cows of Indian breeds, we should understand the utility and the usage of cow dung and its urine,” he said.
