New Delhi, Jul 5: It has only been a few days since prime minister Narendra Modi lashed out at violence in the name of cow protection, but the Viswa Hindu Parishad (VHP) seems to be not in a mood to embrace the PM's view.surendrajain

In a gesture of wholehearted support to the cow vigilante groups, the Hindutva outfit on Tuesday said cow protectors or 'gau-rakshaks' were 'victims not tyrants".

VHP international joint secretary, Surendra Jain, said the strong meat lobby was trying to malign the holy vow of cow protection.

"In last 10 years, more than 50 policemen and gau-rakshaks were killed by the cow butchers. These killers or jehadis have brutally murdered the innocent people committed for the cause of cow protection," he said.

Stating that there is no place for violence in the holy resolve to protect the cow, Jain added but everyone including a cow protector has right to self-defense.

"Cow protectors are victims not tyrants as some people are trying to establish".

VHP's remarks in support of cow protectors, comes days after Modi had said that killing people in the name of cow protection is not acceptable.

Taking on the organizers of the 'Not in My Name' protests, taken out against lynching of people, especially Muslims in the name of cow protection, Jain said "the placard-carrying groups with selfish interests were trying to malign the holy resolve of cow-protection".

"These people will question our brave soldiers fighting in Kashmir but support Yakub Memon by opposing his death sentence," he added.

At present, VHP runs more than 450 'gaushalas' (shelters for cows) in different parts of the country and more than 1,500 similar shelters are run by its volunteers.

Violence unleashed by gau rakshaks have been on the rise in the country in recent years and the lynching of a Muslim teen, Juanid, by a mob on board a train for allegedly carrying beef sparked a wide range of debate on the issue of late.

RSS terrorists would not listen to the word of CM they need special treatment from CM & Army. Shut down RSS members business and revoke their govt employment contract. Do not allow them to work in educational institutions & banks. Watch out how they are doing GST.

Bengaluru, Jul 31: The Karnataka government on Wednesday put on hold a controversial proposal to drop certain chapters, including on Islam, Christianity, Tipu Sultan and his father Hyder Ali, from social science textbooks to reduce the 2020-21 syllabi for students in classes 1-10.

Citing the COVID-19 pandemic and the disruption caused to the academic calendar of the year, the government had earlier dropped the chapter on Tipu Sultan and Hyder Ali from the Class 7 social science textbook, saying chapters on Tipu Sultan have been retained in the Class 6 and 10 textbooks.

The move did not go down well with the opposition, which saw certain ulterior motives behind the decision.

Apparently under sharp criticism, the Department of Public Instruction issued a new notification on Wednesday "on the directions of the Karnataka Primary and Secondary Education Minister S Suresh Kumar".

There is a delay in opening the schools during the academic year 2020-21 due to COVID-19 pandemic, said the latest order.

In this context, the order said, chapters were dropped to fit in 120 days of the academic year for classes 1 to 10 and the same was published in the department's website.

"However, on the directions of the Minister for Primary and Secondary Education, the decision to drop certain chapters has been put on hold. A review will be done following which the deleted chapters will be uploaded in the website," the order read.

Earlier in the day, Mr Kumar had issued a statement, saying that the decision to truncate the syllabus has not been finalised yet. He also made it clear that his department would not remove chapters unnecessarily.

Former chief minister and Congress leader Siddaramaiah had attacked the government on the issue.

"The government, which has failed to control the spread of coronavirus, is using it as an opportunity to push its clandestine agenda of saffronising the textbooks," Siddaramaiah tweeted.
