Sadhvi Niranjan Jyoti condemns Uttarkhand CM Harish Rawat's cow slaughter comment

KOLKATA: Condemning the Uttarkhand Chief minister Harish Rawat's comment regarding cow slaughter, Union Minister of State for Food Processing Industries Sadhvi Niranjan Jyoti today said that such kind of statements were not good for the country.

"I feel that such kind of statements are not good for the country," Jyoti told reporters on the sidelines of a programme here.

The Uttarakhand CM yesterday had said addressing a function on the occasion of Gopashtami, "Anyone who kills cows, no matter which community he belongs to, is India's biggest enemy and has no right to live in the country."

Jyoti said that terrorism had no religion and religion should not be linked with incidents of terror in any part of the globe and added that terror in any part of the globe was not good for humanity.

"The terror incidents across the globe is a matter of concern. Our Army, our Home Ministry are alert. But terrorism should not be linked to any religion, country or race. Had terrorism been linked to a religion, then so many children would not have been killed in a terror attack in Paksitan last year," she observed.
