Bangalore, Jan 18: State Governor, H R Bharadhwaj, advised the saints and the Sanyasis to exert pressure on the government for enacting anti cow slaughter legislation. He was speaking after inaugurating the World Peace Conference organized by Oswal Parishad in the city on Sunday January 17.
Lamenting that a blanket ban on the slaughter of cows has not yet been enforced in the country, he suspected this to be the fall out of the political equations of projecting enforcement of a ban on cow slaughter as a religious issue. As far as conserving of the cow breeds, politics should not have any say, he opined.
“Shunning of all kinds of violence has been the crux of every religion. No one should talk lightly of other religions. We should develop high regard for every other religion. None of the religions in the world glorify violence. Still, Jainism is the only religions that has, since its inception, been vociferously upholding non-violence,” he felt.
