Pota For Eating Beef Sandwich While Architects Of
Gujarat Genocide Get Laurels

The so called Hindu nationalists (rather anti-nationals) and their revivalist-fascist bedfellows have come up the ridiculous demands such as imposition of POTA (prevention of terrorism act ) against the killers of cows (gau matha in their lingo).Now their demand has even got a seal of authority by an appointed Commission who gets paid from the taxes of even the beef lovers.

In what could be the sweetest music to the ears of the Hindutva
forces , the 'National Cattle Commission' has made the
following demands..

1)Ban cow slaughter by an Act of Parliament.

2)Halt the transportation of cows across state borders.

3)Amend the Indian Constitution to take away the state's power
regarding the subject and transfer the power to the Centre or
include it in the concurrent list .

4)Declare the cow as the 'national animal' .

5)Impose total ban on slaughter of any type of cattle and not
just cows.

6)Cow slaughter to be treated as a 'non-bailable offence' with
the Sessions court alone having jurisdiction to try the case.


7)The burden to prove innocence to be on the accused alone.
(the prosecution does not have to prove the guilt).


8)The offence to be punished with rigorous imprisonment (hard
labour) from 3-10 years.


There are also many other proposals some of which include..

1) Arrest under POTA for those transporting cows .

2) The act of burning hay to be considered a criminal offence.

3) Ban import (and export) of any sort of meat items.

4) Ban cross-breeding of cattle with foreign breeds.

Irrationality Of The Proposals

The proposals of the National Cattle Commission are not just
ridiculous but also devoid of any sense.Their theocratic zeal
is evident.The Commission has acted much like the agent
of the fascist-revivalist VHP.The BJP,devoid of any genuine
electoral issues is trying to push ahead with a law on the
same lines.The so called Hindu nationalists have forgotten
the words of their father Savarkar who said cow is just
a useful animal.Indeed he understood that the cow is
just another beast which licks the grass and lies on it's own
dung and urine.


The Commission ,in it's fanatic worship of the beast has
tried to include all the cattle forms so as to deny the
non-vegetarians the right to eat some kind of meat.
The Hindus of Orissa,Karnataka,Andhra and Tamil Nadu are
only happy to sell their ageing cows and bulls to Kerala.
To stop the likes of Keralites from consuming thousands of
kilos of beef everyday,the Commission has demanded that
the inter-state transport of cattle be halted an penalised.
Since cow protection is a state subject and all the states
cannot be tamed,the Commission seeks to remove the
state's power and vest it with the already getting too
powerful centre.

Let The Genocide Managers Go Scot Free

The Hindutva organizers of the genocide of the minorities do
not have to fear any sort of prosecution in the Hindu rashtra
whereas anyone who eats a beef burger will inevitably find
himself at the mercy of the Sessions court begging for bail
with no use .The POTA has not been used against the
butchers of women and children in Gujarat,but they want it
to be used against the non-vegetarians.Interestingly
the state does not have to prove the accused guilty,it is
upon the poor accused (most probably only members of
the Christian or Muslim communities) to prove their
innocence.

India is returning to the days of Manu.The dark ages of
Manuvian siddhanta is awaiting the people of India,
the largest producer of scientific personnel.Unless these
irrational fools are chained and condemned to the
dungeons,our nation will resemble Taliban ruled
Afghanistan all too soon.
