    Indian's can't eat beef in PM Modi's India. But slaughter the cow for export is legible right.
    Why these 'Gau rakshak' dare to attack beef exporters instead of pity farmers?
    How much share did they get out of $5 Billion worth industry? I challenge CM Yogi and Gou rakshaks to stop beef exports complete ban in 30 days if you really worship them.

    Any sensible and educated person will know that the life of a Human being is far more valuable than a grass eating cows life.

    Yogis HYV leader can drag his car over a cow in U.P and nothing happens...
    And there are people who think killing of fellow humans is justifiable coz someone allegedly stole cow.. ....Again it is not love for cow but hatred towards M...As usual modi will passively support it by not speaking against it and his Hindutva cadre will justify this murder openly coz the dead is a Muslim...Modi and BJP since they failed to deliver their developmental promises...with India suffering from acute unemployment problems and worst job crisis in history...Development is not taking place as their baashans...Only one thing left to win the2019 elections is to malign Muslims abuse them and harass them daily for their gowmata...And majority of the Indians seems to be comfortable with it...
    They may need still more dead souls to win 2019 elections...and people like yogi may get their prominence to malign and abuse a community which the radicalised majority may find it pleasurable...!

    It seems that the mob have lost their sense of humanity. Whatever may be the mistakes, going to the extend of killing the persons is not justifiable. It's an inhuman act.After all no one is sinless. We do commit wrong at one time or the other.

    RIP brothers.Amen.
