Lynchings will stop if people don't eat beef: RSS leader

July 24, 2018 09:07

In the wake of Friday's lynching incident at Alwar in Rajasthan, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh leader Indresh Kumar on Monday said that crimes like mob lynching could stop if people stopped eating beef.

"Lynchings will stop if people don't eat beef. The cows must be protected and cowdung should be used as cement, then both poverty and violence will end," said Indresh at the inauguration of Jagran Hindu Manch in Ranchi.

He also emphasised on the role of sanskar (values) for dealing with such problems.

"Law has to be there and the government must act, but society also needs the right sanskaar to deal with this problem, he said.

His comments came after, Rakbar Khan, a dairy farmer, from Haryana's Mewat district, was lynched by a group of seven persons in Alwar when he was transporting two cows and their calves.

"It is true that not a single religion in the world approves killing of cows. Be it Christianity, which talks of 'Holy Cow', because Jesus was born in a cowshed; or Islam, where killing cows is banned in Mecca and Medina; or any other religion, killing a cow is not approved anywhere," he said.
