Bhopal: Shankaracharya of Jyotish Peeth, Swami Avimukteshwaranand Maharaj is all set to start the 'Bhai and Kasai' campaign for political parties across the country by taking a pledge of cow protection before the Lok Sabha elections. Swami Avimukteshwaranand appealed to the political parties ahead of Lok Sabha elections to announce that if their government comes to power, they will completely ban cow slaughter in the country.
He said that the political party which bans cow slaughter will be given the status of brother and the party that is not able to ban cow slaughter will be considered a butcher. He also appealed to the Hindu voters to vote only for that party which gives a guarantee to ban cow slaughter.
After Govardhan Parikrama, Swami will start the foot march to Parliament House. Shankaracharya alleged that the government is responsible for cow slaughter. "More than one lakh cows are being killed every day, as per government figures. Every Hindu is facing the sin of cow slaughter because cows are being slaughtered by the governments which are formed with your vote. So we have decided to say that the first any party should do is to stop cow slaughter", he said.
