Mothers' rot, die in hordes: BJP govt's unholy treatment of holy cow' exposed

Jaipur, Aug 5: A television channel has exposed the pathetic condition of the cows in Hingonia shed near Jaipur run by the chief minister Vasundhara Raje-led Rajasthan's BJP government.

cow

According to a report by India Today, cows rot and die in hordes in this biggest cow shelter of Rajasthan. Indescribable stench has filled the air as the holiest animals starve, abandoned by their caretakers for almost two weeks. In just two days at least 90 cows have perished, according to a veterinarian.

Two weeks ago, some 225 staff of the shelter went on a strike to protest wage delays. Jaipur's municipal officials had refused to release their salaries, alleging the company they were outsourced from was blacklisted. Cows bear the brunt of the pestering dispute between the shelter employees and the government in Jaipur.

According to India Today, only one animal doctor was present, when its crew visited the sloppy compound. On its staff rolls though, as many as 17 veterinarians are registered. The shelter's commissioner, Sher Singh, has gone on a leave.

Cows were seen living -- and dying -- in extreme agony. They could barely walk in the muddy slush. For almost a fortnight now, no one has drained the rain water out of their sheds. Revered otherwise above all other animals, they haven't been fed either in this habitation watched over by the state's BJP government.

In fact cow is considered as mother', god' and abode of 33 crore gods' by BJP. In 2010, CM Vasundhra Raje presided over a public oath to protect cows. In the wake of her community pledge, Rajasthan became India's first state to create a separate department for cows. Its school curriculum now also offers special lessons on the sacred animal.

But cows trembling to death at their Hingonia from hunger and thirst belie the tall commitments of the state.

Heartbreaking deaths

"Twenty cows are dying on an average every day," said veterinarian Arvind Yadav. "Those you see still alive will also pass in a day or two. They have been starving in this slosh. What can I do?" said Yadav, blaming the administration for their terrible condition.

Hingonia's shelter housed around 8,000 cows.

Workers allege they have not received their wages for five months now. They struck work to demand salaries.

No one in command of the shelter is taking responsibility for the heartbreaking deaths of its cows.

Harendra Kiwar, its deputy commissioner, stated the obvious, attributing the desolation to rains and the two-week worker strike.

Dear Viren/Naren,
Do you give your mother better care and try to give best treatment if she is hospitalized or she is sick? If yes. Why not to your mother cow. Don't give unnecessaary comments which divide the communities. Go and save these dying cows. God will give you reward for saving these mothers. Every one die that every one knows. Then why you spend money for hospitalization

If only the holy cow could write an essay on her everyday life in India & voice her concern on people killing & getting killed in her name.

Indian people are treating a human being as an animal on the grounds that he/she ate an animal (cow).

Beef ban and ban on cow slaughter is the most idiotic law. It is sure the cows will have a slow death of starvation and thirst.

the whole population there must be living in fear & may not be coming out of their houses as the chaddi baniyan gang from the cow vigilante brigade must be wanting to thrash the daylight out of these residents?May be sec.144 should be in place or may be security forces be sent.Another problem is the traditional professionals who skin dead cows may also be scared of the above brigade as they also will be thrashed.That leaves govt.in a dilemma what to do, really pitiable situation in this sleepy state?May be FDI should be welcome from foreign countries,who could help us clean this problem?God save us!

Bengaluru, Jan 25: Karnataka Health Minister B Sriramulu on Friday, hit out at JD(S) leader HD Kumaraswamy, accusing the former Chief Minister of pursuing "vote bank" politics and advised him to move to Pakistan.

"It is better to move to Pakistan...if he shows so much love towards Pakistan, why should he live in India? He should not do dual politics like this. He wants to be fair to Pakistan and also to India," Sriramulu said.

Terming it as "double standards", the Minister said: "From so many years, you have been doing vote bank politics. You have to understand one thing...you are the son of former Prime Minister and also a former Chief Minister. By giving these type of statements, I think it will hurt the citizens of India. If you want to do vote bank politics I must suggest that it is better to leave the country."

His statement comes after Kumaraswamy took a jibe at BJP over its "obsession with Pakistan".

Bengaluru, Jan 2: The Congress leadership in Delhi is expected to start the process of selecting a new party chief for Karnataka next week. There are strong indications the race has narrowed to DK Shivakumar and MB Patil.

Party insiders said the leadership almost finalised Shivakumar’s name as the president of Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC), but the decision was put on hold after requests by some senior members.

“It’s not that we are against Shivakumar. We think the party should have a Lingayat at the helm since community strongman and chief minister BS Yediyurappa is at the fag end of his long political career. There’s an opportunity here for a Congressman to occupy that space,” said a senior Congress politician, who didn’t want to be named.

That’s where the candidacy of Patil, a Lingayat, scores high.

The party, however, doesn’t want to compromise on quality and wants an efficient KPCC president who can unite two rival factions within the party, one led by Siddaramaiah and another by former union minister KH Muniyappa.

The need to pick a new state president arose after Dinesh Gundurao resigned from the post last month, taking moral responsibility for Congress’s poor showing in the byelections. Siddaramaiah also stood down as Congress party legislature leader.

The insiders said the new KPCC chief could be announced after January 16. The party might also appoint two working presidents and a new legislature party leader, who will automatically become the opposition’s voice in the assembly.

For the latter position, the name of senior Dalit politician and former deputy chief minister G Parameshwara is doing the rounds. But the party, the sources said, could still ask Siddaramaiah to reconsider his decision and stay on.

Many Congress members had raised questions over his stewardship after the bypoll disappointment. They said on his watch, the party had also fared badly in the assembly and Lok Sabha elections, demanding that he be held accountable.

Siddaramaiah is expected to visit Delhi next week to discuss the leadership issue with party boss Sonia Gandhi. Some other senior Congress members, including BK Hariprasad, are also likely to meet her.

Bengaluru, Apr 29: Indian women have always been the epitome of beauty, strength, and intelligence. Today, the success of Indian women across various walks of life has proven that they have earned this reputation.

One such dedicated social worker is Dr Sunitha Manjunath, the Founder of 'Sumanaa Foundation' of Sanjay Nagar in Bengaluru.

Sumanaa Foundation, based out of Sanjay Nagar in Bengaluru has been on the forefront to support people in distress due to COVID-19. 

The foundation under the leadership of its founder Dr Sunitha Manjunath procured a total of 20000 kgs of farm-fresh produce in four phases from farmers who are unable to sell it due to the COVID Lockdown and have distributed it across 6000 families across Bengaluru city.

"We have procured these vegetables after identifying farmers who are unable to sell their produce due to the challenges of lockdown.

This initiative not only supports the farmers by helping them get the right price for their produce, but also gives us an opportunity to get vegetables at a reasonable price by escaping all middlemen and commissions. We have identified 6000 poor families mainly around Bengaluru city who have not been able to earn their daily wages and given them coupons.

The foundation members identify genuine cases and give them coupons which can be redeemed in exchange of an essential vegetables kit," said Dr Sunitha Manjunath, the founder of Sumanaa Foundation.

These vegetables have been procured from Chikkaballapura, Doddaballapura, and surrounding villages and included vegetables like onions, tomatoes, capsicum, green chillies, beans, carrots, brinjal, potatoes, beetroots etc. These farmers got a fair price for their produce and were overjoyed to know that their harvest is being distributed free of cost to needy and deserving families.

Sumanaa Foundation has been actively supporting the city administration in fighting COVID-19 pandemic. In the recent weeks the foundation has distributed sanitisers and masks to BBMP Pourakarmikas.

The foundation also cooked food for over 400 people each day. This food was handed over to the city administration, which further distributed this to the police department and other staff working across government departments during these testing times.

Dr Sunitha, an engineer by qualification, had enjoyed a high-flying corporate career with BOSCH. She was offered a global role, which she turned down to setup her NGO, 'Sumanaa Foundation' and to serve the needy in and around her locality. Over the past seven years, the NGO with 70 members has done a wide range of activities to support the poor and needy in Bengaluru.

The core team of Sumanaa Foundation works under the leadership of its president Dr Sunitha Manjunath and includes young and energetic individuals like Manjunath K, Prakash K, Vidya Prakash, Sindu Gowda, Byregowda, Nishita Arjun, Arjun Varadaraj and Manoj Kumar
'Meal of Humanity' is a notable initiative of Dr Sunitha Manjunath and her team. Under this program, over 300 poor people are served mid-day meals every day. 

This is currently a self-sustained program with no external funding. Dr Sunitha Manjunath, her family members, and friends contribute their hard-earned money to bring smiles to hundreds of migrant workers and daily wage laborers.

'Wall of Humanity' is another unique concept implemented by Sumanaa Foundation. People can leave used or unnecessary daily use products like clothes, toys, groceries, etc at a designated area. This can be picked by anyone in need of these items. This self-helping model has touched the lives of hundreds of people in and around the area of Sanjay Nagar.

Regular blood donation camps, eye checkups, scholarship for students, tailoring machine distribution, environmental initiatives, Swacch Bharath programs, wall painting across the roadside are just a few among the hundreds of activities undertaken by Sumanaa Foundation regularly under the leadership of Dr Sunitha Manjunath and her team of friends.

"A life without an aim is worthless and so is a death without achievement. The aim of my life is to touch the lives of the hundreds of people who are not as privileged as you and me. I'd like to thank my husband Manjunath, my In-Laws and my friends from Sumanaa Foundation who work tirelessly alongside me across all our initiatives," said an elated Dr Sunitha Manjuanth on receiving the 'ET Power Icons' award for Excellence in Social Service and Public Initiatives.

Dr Sunitha Manjunath has also been awarded the prestigious 'Kempegowda Award' and many more such awards for her contribution to the society.
