‘Don’t To Sacrifice Cows On Eid’, AIUDF Chief Badruddin Ajmal Appeals To Muslims.

All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) chief Badruddin Ajmal has urged the Muslim community in Assam not to give ‘qurbani’ of cows during the upcoming Eid on July 10. 

The Lok Sabha MP urged his community members to refrain from slaughtering cow as Hindus consider it as their mother

“India is home to individuals from many different communities, ethnic groups, and religions. The Sanatan faith, which worships the cow as a holy symbol, is practiced by the majority of Indians. Hindus believe cow as a mother,” he said.

Ajmal also claimed that Darul Uloom Deoband had also appealed to avoid sacrificing cows on Eid few years back.

He further said that Islam doesn’t call for the killing of any animal while asking Muslims not to kill cows during Eid.

“As giving Qurbani of cows is not binding, it is an appeal to avoid sacrificing cows to make sure that sentiment of majority community is not hurt,” it said.

Ajmal’s appeal for not hurting sentiments of Hindus comes amid the political furore in the country over beheadings in the country over alleged blasphemy.

VHP Reacts To Statement

Reacting to AIUDF chief’s statement, Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) leader Vinod Bansal welcomed the appeal, but said that the Muslim leaders should appeal to the minority community to permanently stop slaughtering cows.

Bansal also asked the leaders like AIUDF to reign in the people who are killing innocents in the name of jihad.

In 2021, the Himanta Biswa Sarma government passed the Assam Cattle Preservation Bill, 2021 which forbids sale and purchase of beef in places other than the ones permitted by competent authorities.
