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.

News Network

April 24,2020

Bengaluru, Apr 24: Karnataka is likely to start Convalescent Plasma Therapy for COVID-19 patients, who are critical, from tomorrow, Medical Education Minister K Sudhakar said here on on Friday. "We have already got approval for Convalescent Plasma Therapy.

There is no need for any special permission for it....when I was in BMC (Bangalore Medical College) I spoke to We may probably start it for the first patient from tomorrow itself. The donor has also agreed," Sudhakar said.

Speaking to reporters here, he said the convalescent Plasma Therapy was only for patients who are critical, in Intensive Care Units or on ventilator. According to the latest update, five COVID-19 patients are in ICUs in the state.

After attending video conferencing by Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan with health and medical education Ministers of all states, Sudhakar said the Minister lauded the good practices adopted by Karnataka in its fight against COVID-19 and asked to share the same with other states.

Responding to a question, he made it clear that COVID-19 is something that was not going to end by May 3 or by May end and like other viruses, would continue to exist. Sudhakar, who is leading the government's efforts against COVID-19 in Bengaluru and is in charge of the state war room, said many people are treating corona as a social stigma, which was not right.

There was no reason to get frightened about it as the infection can be cured, he said. "We have to take precautions so that it doesn't spread further....like fever, cold and cough- corona also can be cured... 97% people it can be cured, those with comorbidity and those above 60 years have to take some precautions. We have to bring in certain changes in our lifestyle and maintain social distancing," he added.
