RSS-affiliate Muslim Rashtriya Manch will organize a countrywide campaign focusing on Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal and Bihar to persuade Muslims against the sacrifice of cows on Eid al Adha aka Bakra Eid. The campaign is expected to fall on September 2.
MRM has called a meeting of ulamas (Islamic scholars) associated with the organisation on Tuesday in New Delhi, a resolution will be passed in the presence of senior RSS leader Indresh Kumar, who oversees MRM’s activities.
“Our appeal to Muslims against sacrificing of cows during Eid al-Adha is based on a fatwa issued by Darool Uloom Deoband four years ago. We asked the Islamic seminary’s fatwa department for its ruling on whether hurting the sentiments of the Hindus by offering cow sacrifices is sanctioned in Islam. They said Islam does not sanction hurting the sentiments of neighbours adhering to other beliefs,” said Mohammad Afzal, MRM’s national convenor.
This move comes following their campaign to replace beef in iftar parties with cow milk. During Ramzaan, MRM organised more than 1,000 cow milk parties across India.
