Where cow vigilantes have disappeared after terror attack on Amarnath Yatris, says Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray

Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray on Tuesday said that terror attack on Amarnath Yatris is a terrible incident and terror attacks on temples of Hindus are possible only in this country.

Thackeray said that if those terrorists would have been carrying beef in their gardens then no terrorists would have been spared. He questioned that where those cow vigilantes have gone now.

“They (the BJP) used to say that do not bring sports, culture etc. in the political issues. Today, religion and politics came together in the form of the terror attack.  Should we understand that none of those terrorists would have been alive today if they had the cow meat in their bags than weapons?”

“The issue of ‘gau rakshaks’ is raging today. Why don’t you send these cow vigilantes to face terrorists?” Thackeray asked while addressing representatives of various Ganesh mandals for the upcoming festival.

He chaired the meeting of the Ganesh mandals here.

Thackeray, whose party shares an uneasy relationship with the BJP, further said, “If the BJP government can talk to separatists in the Kashmir Valley to resolve their issues, they can certainly talk with those wishing to celebrate the Ganesh festival amidst fanfare”.

He requested the Devendra Fadnavis government to bring out an ordinance against the restrictions imposed by the Bombay High Court on noise level during the festivals.
