Shashi Tharoor
The Animal Welfare Board of India has withdrawn the appeal to celebrate ‘Cow Hug Day’ (as Gau Gala Lagao Divas) on February 14, ie Valentine, following the instructions of the Central Government. Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has taunted about this. He questioned whether the government was scared of the jokes made at its own expense or was it simply cowardice?
Shashi Tharoor tweeted, “I believe the verbal instruction was – Let people hug their partner (Guy) on Valentine’s Day, but the Hindi nationalist heard the last word ‘Guy’ as ‘Gaay’. Will the government bear its expenses?” Was she scared of the jokes made on her or was it just cowardice?”
What did Jairam Ramesh say?
Earlier, after the appeal of ‘Cow Hug Day’ was withdrawn, senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh on Friday asked in a sarcasm, whose brainchild was it? The Animal Welfare Board of India withdrew the notice in which it had appealed people to celebrate ‘Cow Hug Day’ on February 14.
Appeal to cow lovers to celebrate ‘Cow Hug Day’
This was the first time that the Animal Welfare Board of India had appealed to the cow lovers in the country to celebrate ‘Cow Hug Day’. Earlier the board had said that this appeal has been made because Vedic traditions are on the verge of extinction due to the progress of western culture. Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying Minister Purushottam Rupala on Thursday said it would be good if people respond positively to the AWBI’s call to observe February 14 as ‘Cow Hug Day’.
