Goa : Bulls sacrificed in Government’s meat project committing breach of Court’s orders

Ashwin Krushnapaksha Trutiya, Kaliyug Varsha 5116

Was the curfew order only a farce to see that ‘Gou-rakshaks’ did not come together and oppose ?

Has the Government ever helped Hindus during celebration of their festivals ?

Ponda (Goa) – Mumbai High Court imposed certain restrictions on ‘Goa Meat Project’, situated at Usgaon, Ponda; but Court’s orders were ignored and bulls were sacrificed on 6^th October. Shri. Hanmant Parab of ‘Gou-vansh Raksha Abhiyan’ gave the above information in a press conference held in the afternoon near the meat project. It was noticed that despite curfew orders, more than 5 Muslims were freely roaming near the project. Muslims were also given free entry in the meat unit. Till 6^th October, 78 bulls were brought to the meat unit for slaughtering. Shri. Parab raised objection as an ‘animal-friend’ when 5 bulls were sent back. One of the bull among them was useful for farming and other 4 bulls were below 12 years of age. Last year, 14 bulls were slaughtered in this unit on the occasion of Bakri Eid; but this year, the number was going to be much higher.

Despite permission, ‘Gou-Premi’ stopped from taking photographs or making notes in meat project

From 4^th October, representatives of ‘Gou-Premis’ were available to get information about number of cattle brought to the unit as per the Court’s orders; but the representative was prohibited from taking photographs or making note inside the unit by officers of the meat project. The above information was also given during the press conference.

Police were deployed in batches to maintain law and order around the project area.

Goa : Bakri Eid – Court orders to provide special facilities for slaughtering of cows

September 23, 2014

Bhadrapad Krushnapaksha 14, Kaliyug Varsha 5116

On one side, Bhagavan Srikrushna nurtured and protected cows, whereas, look at the Goa Government favoring cow slaughter as a means of revenue generation on the other !

Court passing order for providing special facilities during the period of Bakri Eid

Where are the so-called environmentalists hiding now ?

Do they feel concerned about pollution only during Hindus’ festivals ?

Panaji (Goa) : Due to Goa Government favoring the minorities and contention of Hindus, who revere ‘Gou-mata (cows)’, not being placed effectively before the court resulted in the Mumbai High Court order to the Goa Government to provide special facilities at its meat project at Usgaon (Goa) during the period of Barki Eid (4^th to 7^th October 2014). On 18^thSeptember, the Court gave time limit of 7 days to Goa Government for making arrangements for such facilities; besides asking the Goa Government to make a list of other places and inform the Court by 30^th September, where slaughtering could be done during period of Eid. (Allowing slaughtering at other places besides meat project is like rubbing salt on Hindus’ wounds! – Editor, Dainik Sanatan Prabhat)

A petition was filed by ‘All Goa Muslim Jamat’ seeking special facilities for slaughtering of cows/ cattle during Bakri Eid period. Another petition was filed by ‘Gou-vansh Raksha Abhiyan and Gayatri Parivar’ intervening the above petition.

Advocate General Atmaram Nadkarni presented the case on behalf of the Government before Justice Bhushan Dharmadhikari and Justice Gadkari whereas advocate Subodh Kantak pleaded on behalf of ‘Gou-vansh Raksha Abhiyan’. The Court has ordered that test of cows/ cattle should be conducted through a veterinary doctor before they are brought to meat project as also 24 hours before their slaughter. CCTV cameras should be fitted at the entrance of the meat project and at the place where animals are examined by veterinary doctors. The Court dismissed the demand of Muslim organizations for not allowing visit of members of ‘Gou-vansh Raksha Abhiyan’ to the meat project and Justice suggested that one member of ‘Gou-raksha Abhiyan’ could visit; but in case of any objection, the same to be presented in Court instead of raising any objection at the venue.

Cow-slaughter taking place during Bakri Eid period has no religious base ! – Representation by Muslim Rashtriya Manch

Nowhere in Quran, has it been mentioned that cows / cattle should be slaughtered during Bakri Eid period. It has neither any religious base nor tradition. The demand by ‘all Goa Muslim Jamat’ is not proper, stated Muslims Rashtriya Manch in the Court.
