Hyderabad: As preparations for Bakrid are underway in the city, the Bharatiya Gau Vamsha Rakshak Samvardhana Parishad, Vishwa Hindu Parishad’s (VHP) cow-protection wing, has called for a mahadharna at Indira Park on June 14, demanding that the Telangana government enforce cow protection laws in the state.
Eid Al
Adha usually referred to as Bakrid in the Indian subcontinent, witnesses largescale trade of cattle and sheep for sacrifice.
Cattle including ox, bull and camel are sold by traders in the runup to the festival. Skirmishes between cattle traders and cow vigilante groups have flared up communal tensions in the recent past.
