The
allahabad High
court has directed the
central government to declare cows as a national animal, giving them basic rights as they are an integral part of
indian culture and this verdict has sent shockwaves across the nation already. Javed, a resident of Sambal
district in Uttar Pradesh, was arrested last
march under the state cattle law and he had filed a petition in the
allahabad High
court seeking bail.
The petition was heard in a session of Judge Sehgar Yadav and was adjudicated yesterday and in it, Judge Sehgar Yadav rejected Javit's bail
application and issued a 12-page order. On the 12 page order, Judge Sehgar Yadav said that the
cow is very important in the ancient Vedas and Mahabharata of
india and that the
cow is an integral part of
indian culture and given the current situation, the
central government should declare the
cow as a national animal.
Cow protection should be made a part of the fundamental rights of the Hindu community as we know that the nation will be weakened if the
culture and beliefs of the country are weakened. Therefore, the Union
government should bring a bill in
parliament to provide basic rights to the
cow, including sections that severely punish those who abuse the
cow and torment them.
