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.

July 5,2020

Bengaluru, Jul 5: In the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic and the fear of layoffs lurking everywhere, the state government is holding a first-of-its-kind virtual job fair on July 10, to help people find jobs commensurate with their skill sets.

Co-ordinated by the Karnataka Skill Development Corporation (KSDC), the job fair will see participation of more than 40 companies for about 6,000 job openings.

The government will connect companies with job seekers who have registered on the recently-launched Skill Connect portal or on the Kaushalya Karnataka’s portal for migrant workers from the state who have returned home.

A candidate can either directly apply to a company, or await the portal to match their skills with available jobs. There is also a self-evaluation section on the website which will suggest whether a candidate needs to further skill oneself or whether they are eligible for jobs with their current set of skills.

Firms such as Life Insurance Corporation, Barbeque Nation and Arvind Mills are among the participants.
