RSS defends Dadri: Vedas order killing of sinners who kill cows

October 18, 2015 11:09

Slamming writers who have returned their awards in the wake of the incident in Dadri where a man was lynched over beef rumours, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh mouthpiece Panchjanya, in its latest edition, has carried a cover story saying the Vedas order the killing of "sinners" who slaughter cows.

It alleges that madrasas and the Muslim leadership teach Indian Muslims to hate the country's traditions. "Ikhlaq (the Dadri victim) perhaps slaughtered a cow under the influence of such bad deeds," it states.

"Veda ka adesh hai ki gau hatya karne wale pataki ke pran le lo. Hum mein se bahuton ke liye to yah jivan-maran ka prashn hai (Vedas order killing of the sinner who kills a cow. It is a matter of life and death for many of us)," states the article Is Utpat ke Us paar (The other side of this disturbance) by Hindi writer Tufail Chaturvedi who edits the journal Lafz. Tufail is the name Vinay Krishna Chaturvedi uses.
