ADVERSESYMBLE ON INDIA]

Ref. YOUR STATEMENT DT. 05.04.2015 AGAINST

BAN ON COW SLAUGHTERING, AND CALLING MAHATMA GANDHI AS BRITISH AGENT

REMARKS OF JUSTICE MARKANDEY KATJU AGAINST BAN ON COW SLAUTHERING AND MAHATMA GANDHI, CALLING HIM AS BRITISH AGENT PUBLSIHED IN NEWS PAPERS DT. 06.04.2015

Respected Justice Markandey Ji,

       Kindly refer to your statement dt. 05.04.2015, published in News Papers on 06.04.2015 whereby you have inter-alia stated “that there is nothing wrong in eating beef [most of the world eats it] are they all are murderers, as they had been fed for centuries on the false propaganda that the cow is a mother, when in fact it is only an animal. Ban on cow slaughtering is just a politically motivated, anti democracy. Eating beef is a cheap source of protein. I also eaten beef on some occasions’.

From your aforesaid statement my natural and religious feelings and sentiments of almost of all Hindu minded people, are badly hurt and injured because our natural and religious sentiments and feelings are attached with welfare, betterment, well being of ‘cow’, we treat her as our mother, its milk is a nutritious food, like our mother, its dung produces organic fertilizer and its urine is best pesticide than all manufactured chemicals and pesticides. On natural death of cows, from its leather, shoes and other leather articles are manufactured.

A natural mother feeds from her breast only to her own children till limited period, but the cows are providing milk to each community, each person of every age. There is no difference for cow who belongs to from which community, every one can enjoy her milk. We all are born from earth and have to merge in soil. We call the earth also as our mother. Cow also born from earth. Even the emperors and saints from Muslim communities have advised not to eat beef. Though you are Kashmiri Pandit. It is shameful and hatred for you and entire kashmiri Pandits about your eaten beef.   

           There are about 80 crores Hindu minded people in our country and they are very much concerned and attached to cows because they treat her as their mother and worship her as their mother. Such cruel remarks from you, a reputed personality, retired Supreme Judge, have naturally caused unbearable, intolerable, utmost and immense shock, hardships, humiliations, mental and physical agonies, pains and sufferings to Hindu minded people. 

       Not only to the Hindu communities you have also insulted, injured and hurt the natural sentiments, feelings of 125 Indians and Indian culture, though as per your own admission that you believe in Hindu mytheology and culture.

       In India there is no step motherly treatment with any community, like Muslims, Christians, Bodhs, Sikh etc.etc.. All the communities are enjoying all privileges of their lives, without any fear or difference of any kind. They all are employed on important, responsible and even sensitive posts for the cause of nation. In view of aforesaid facts and circumstances, no one ever expected such a hatred, condemnable and objectionable statement from such a renowned personality of Retired Supreme Court Judge.

       On the contrary there is no Indian employed on any responsible post in West Pakistan, rather even on a very small post.     

    Cow is our spiritual symbol like a mother, because of presence of so many vitamins and life saving medicines in her milk, urine and cow dung. We used to worship a cow. We also used to spare some meals as fodder of cows. There are also so much ‘Gau Shalas/Gau Sadans’ in almost each and every city and town in India, for maintenance, welfare and well being of cows.

        Service of cow has become a Dharma in India on account of her being symbol and mother of physical, mental and spiritual prosperity. It should be kept in mind that amelioration of cattle depends upon the growth of the man and vice versa.

    It is an important duty of every one, whether he is an ordinary citizen, a business man, Government Servant or an officer, Gram Panchayat or Central Government, all of them must work and do their might for the cause of amelioration of the country. There are two important factors of this work. First is to rear adequately and affect improvement in the quality for useful and less useful cattle. In doing this, we must keep in view the important fact that the man and the cow will progress together. One cannot be left behind the other.

  Ours is a cow-centered economy according to ancient inheritance. It should remain a cow centered economy according to modern science.

    To serve and protect the cow is basic part of Indian Culture. To serve and protect the cow is of great importance even in our modern and religious traditions and being adopted ever since so many centuries and by our Spiritual Gurus.

       Due to cow slaughtering, earth takes its adverse, feels hurt and injure and natural calamities and adversities, such as earth quakes, bhu sakhalan, floods, cyclones etc. etc. used to take place thereby causing a lot of human causalities, substantial loss of natural and constructed properties, assets and privileges of life.    

    Mahatma Gandhi and Dr. Rajender Prasad were also admirers and spiritually attached and concerned towards cow. Dr. Rajender Prasad stopped wearing leather shoes and was taking only cow products as his meals.    

    There should be at least one ‘GAU SADAN’ FOR PROTECTIONS AND MAITNENANCE OF COWS, MORE PARTICULARY THE OLD AND NON PROFITABLE COWS, in a District, throughout India, at the cost, expenses and supervision/control of Central Govt. of India.

    As regards your statement to the effect “Gandhi was objectively a British agent shocked most people because they had been fed for almost a century on the false propaganda in favour of Gandhi” same is highly objectionable and not at all acceptable, because it has hurt the followers of Gandhi. His sacrifices to the cause of masses of the country, non violent movements and so

many resolutions for independence of country speaks in volumes and cannot be ignored. Calling a Saint as British Agent is not appropriate, specifically from a reputed personality, a retired Supreme Court Judge.

    I highly condemn your such a objectionable and hatred statement, which has injured and hurt the natural and religious sentiments, feelings of majority of Hindu communities attached to Cow, treat her as their mother, and followers of Mahatma Gandhi.

     You are required to respect the natural and religious feelings and sentiments of masses, Indians and India’s culture, preferably majority communities of Hindu and apology to the Nation for making such objectionable and condemnable statement against cow slaughtering and Mahatma Gandhi, otherwise the masses of the country, preferable most of Hindu communities and followers of Mahatma Gandhi would show their strength and power against your such adverse, objectionable and condemnable remarks against cow slaughtering and Mahatma Gandhi. Even God would not pardon you for your such objectionable, condemnable and hatred comments against cow slaughtering and Mahatma Gandhi.  

     I am hopeful that you would appreciate and respect the natural feelings and sentiments of majority of Hindu communities towards cow and Mahatma Gandhi and would surely and definitely publically withdraw your aforesaid objectionable, condemnable and hatred statement, comments and apology to the Nation for the same. .
