Kolkata 12 November 2010
Murdikar News: The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) on Friday welcomed a judgement by the Calcutta High Court banning the slaughter of cows for religious purposes.
The weighty judgement comes days ahead of Eid Al-Adhha (Feast of Sacrifice) also known as ‘Bakri-Eid’ being observed by Muslims across India by sacrificing goats and even cows in some places.
The division bench of Chief Justice J N Patel and Justice Asim Ray of the Calcutta High Court on Friday declared the practice of sacrificing cow and its progeny for religious purpose as 'unlawful', the RSS statement said.
The Hindu volunteer organisation added that it expected the judgment to have "far reaching ramifications in the minority-centric domestic politics of West Bengal".
