"If Cow Statue Can Enter Parliament, Why Not A Living Cow?": Shankaracharya
Mumbai: Shankaracharya Avimukteshwaranand has said that a cow should have been taken into the new Parliament building at Central Vista during its inauguration. "If a statue of a cow can enter Parliament, why can't a living cow be taken inside?" he asked reporters on Sunday. The seer said the Sengol held by Prime Minister Narendra Modi while entering the new Parliament building showed a cow engraved on the sceptre. "A real cow should have also been taken into the building to bestow blessings. If there is a delay, we will take cows from all over the country and bring them to Parliament," he said, adding this would ensure the PM and the building receive blessings of a real cow. The Sengol is installed in the Lower House of the Parliament. He also demanded that the Maharashtra government immediately frame a protocol on cow felicitation. "The state has not yet declared how to honour the cow. It should finalise a protocol so that people can follow it, and also fix penalties for its violation," he said. The Shankaracharya demanded that every assembly constituency in India have a "Ramadham" — a cow shelter accommodating 100 cows. "A total of 4,123 Ramadhams will be built across the country. The shelters will focus on daily cow service, protection, and promoting indigenous breeds," he added. Those following the protocol while caring for cows would be financially rewarded. "A person taking care of 100 cows will receive Rs 2 lakh per month," he added. The Hindu pontiff further said that the Dharma Sansad has passed a congratulatory resolution in support of Hoshangabad MP Darshan Singh Chowdhary, who has demanded that the cow be declared as Rashtramata (Mother of the Nation). The Shankaracharya said people should support only those candidates who protect cows and work for legislation in their interest. "The present regime has not yet satisfied us. Cow slaughter must be completely stopped in India," he added. Addressing the language controversy, he said, "Hindi was first recognised for administrative use. The Marathi-speaking state was formed in 1960, and Marathi was recognised later. Hindi represents several dialects — the same applies to Marathi, which has borrowed from its dialects." The seer said any violence should be treated as a criminal offence. He demanded justice in the Malegaon blast case, stating that the real culprits must be punished. "It is ridiculous that the government is celebrating Amrit Kaal while cows who provide us with milk are being slaughtered. Those in government cannot be called our brothers unless they stand in support of cows," he said. PTI ND NSK ARU

Sanatan Dharma stands for universal brotherhood: Dy CM
1 2 Lucknow: Emphasising India's ancient tradition of inclusivity and harmony, Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak on Sunday said Sanatan Dharma was the only faith that never discriminated between people and always envisioned welfare of all living beings. Speaking at the International Delegates' Conference organised by the Vishwa Hindu Raksha Parishad at Indira Gandhi Pratishthan in Lucknow, Pathak said, "Representatives from seven countries have gathered here today. Since time immemorial, Sanatan Dharma and Hinduism upheld the idea of 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam' (world is one family). We do not differentiate between our own and outsiders. We live by the ideals of victory of righteousness, defeat of evil and goodwill among all beings. We will walk shoulder-to-shoulder with all of you to uphold these values." The conference, attended by delegates from US, Brazil, Singapore, Malaysia and Nepal, witnessed renewed calls for declaring India a Hindu Rashtra . Gopal Rai was elected unanimously as international president of the Vishwa Hindu Raksha Parishad. In his address, Rai said the fight for India to be declared a Hindu nation would continue and urged for creation of a strong global Hindu community. The Dharma Sansad was convened in the backdrop of the recent Pahalgam killings in Jammu & Kashmir, where Hindus were reportedly targeted after being asked about their religion. Former MP and Ram Janmbhoomi leader Ram Vilas Vedanti blamed past govts for fostering terrorism and alleged that former PM Jawaharlal Nehru's decision to halt Indian forces led to the creation of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. "When we were fighting for Ram Temple, all Ram opponents united. But now you see — the temple stands tall," Vedanti said. Mahant Raju Das of Hanuman Garhi in Ayodhya called the Pahalgam incident "deeply condemnable" and said time had come for formal declaration of a Hindu Rashtra. International attendees included Shiv Shankar (Singapore), Sanjeev Sharma (Brazil), Rakesh Pal Chopra (USA) and Pawan Kumar Rai (Malaysia), among others.
