‘Cow Respect Campaign’ to submit memorandums to PM, CMs

Seers and cow protection groups from across India will launch a nationwide outreach campaign later this month, visiting nearly 5,000 sub-districts and about 780 district headquarters to demand that the cow be declared the ‘National Mother’ and that a separate ministry be set up for its welfare.

The initiative, titled the ‘Cow Respect Campaign’, will be carried out under the guidance of saints and religious leaders, according to Mahamandaleshwar Ramgopal Das of Shri Ram Mandir Gaushala. He said cow devotees, along with seers and other prominent figures, would submit memorandums to the Prime Minister, President, Vice President and Chief Ministers urging constitutional recognition and stronger legal protection for cows.
