VK News Today https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html Representative Image NEW DELHI: The Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) on Wednesday objected to the “insistence” by a section of the Muslim community on cow slaughter during Eid-ul-Azha and said religious sentiments of the Hindu community should be respected to ensure peaceful coexistence in society.VHP central joint general secretary Surendra Jain said the Hindu community worships the cow as “Gau Mata” and alleged that repeated arguments supporting cow slaughter hurt Hindu sentiments.”The Hindu society worships the cow as mother. Despite this, continuing such insistence is extremely unfortunate. New arguments are being made every day to justify cow slaughter, and these are hurting the sentiments of the Hindu society,” Jain said.He also objected to arguments seeking to declare the cow the “national animal”, claiming that referring to “Gau Mata” merely as an animal insults the sentiments of Hindus.”Calling Gau Mata merely an animal is an insult to Gau Mata and Hindu society’s sentiments. The attitude towards symbols associated with the nation and Sanatan traditions is well known,” he said.Referring to past incidents, Jain cited the 2017 animal slaughter regulations and alleged that cows are slaughtered openly in some states after the rules were introduced.”When rules were framed in 2017 to regulate animal slaughter, cows were also included. In some states where governments were supportive, cows were allegedly slaughtered openly. The displays that took place were extremely unfortunate and condemnable,” he said.The VHP leader said anti-cow slaughter laws are in force in more than half of the country and asserted that the Hindu community will not tolerate cow slaughter.”Hindu society will not tolerate cow slaughter at any cost. People should understand the sentiments attached to Gau Mata and respect the laws already in force in large parts of the country,” he said.Invoking history, Jain claimed that the 1857 revolt was also linked to the protection of cows.”Hindu society fought for the protection of Gau Mata even during the 1857 revolution. Society can go to any extent for the protection of its faith and beliefs,” he said.He also stressed the need for mutual respect among communities. “If peaceful coexistence is to be maintained in society, then every community should learn to respect the religious beliefs and sentiments of others,” Jain said.Get the latest lifestyle updates on Times of India, along with Bakrid wishes, messages and eid 2026!End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosWest Bengal Politics Heat Up As BJP MP Claims Mass Defections From Trinamool CongressWhat Is The Government Trying To Address Through Its New Demography Panel?Air India Temporarily Reduces Domestic Flight Frequencies Amid Fuel Price Surge, West Asia TensionsRathan U Kelkar’s Appointment As Kerala CM Secretary Triggers Political ControversyEbola Alert In Karnataka After Ugandan Traveller Shifted To Bengaluru Isolation Facility | WatchSupreme Court Upholds Election Commission’s Power To Conduct Special Roll Revision Drive | Watch‘Should I Quit Or Try Again?’: UPSC Aspirants React After Unpredictable Prelims 2026 PaperRajasthan High Court Upholds Asaram’s Life Sentence In 2013 Minor Rape CaseIndia Warns Pakistan At UNSC: “There Are Consequences For Cross-Border Terrorism”ED Raids Former Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan Homes in CMRL Corruption Case123Photostories10 powerful psychological tricks that work better than arguing5 places on Earth where you can experience all four seasons in one road tripFrom running away from home to undergoing plastic surgery at 11 and a ‘fake marriage’ with Ritesh Singh: Rakhi Sawant reveals shocking details5 signs you’re absorbing other people’s negative energy, and how to stop itTop 7 hill destinations in India emerging as real estate investment hotspots5 animals more dangerous to humans than sharks (and some will surprise you)5 money habits of rich couplesHow to make gut-friendly Curd Rice for summer lunchAB de Villiers’, aka ‘Mr. 360’, multi-crore mansion in South Africa is defined by classy glass interiors, open spaces, and cricket memoriesAnanya Pandey’s home channelises the ‘dream girl’ home energy with a modern twist: 5 art inspirations to steal123Hot PicksAIADMKByju RaveendranMira Road protestSiddaramaiahKTET December ResultTushar KumarAir India flightTop TrendingByju’s founder RaveendranBank holiday todayIndian Air ForceDelhi temperatureRed BalloonBengaluru Ebola CasePune curfewRahul GandhiHDFC ShareIndian Rupee New Zealand 17/1 in 4.5 Overs | Ireland vs New Zealand, Live Score: Hosts without Paul Stirling face Tom Latham’s blackcaps in historic Belfast Test ‘Emily in Paris’ and ‘The Lincoln Lawyer’ to bid goodbye to their OTT home with their final season Screen Time Effects On Children: “We have a no-screen home, but I am scared of how my son reacts after…”: What experts are saying about this parent’s experience will make you rethink complete screen bans for kids A strange-looking experiment in 1965 led to Kevlar, the material used in bulletproof vests Assam assembly passes UCC Bill with ban on polygamy, live-in registration rules Source: ANI NEW DELHI: CPM workers on Wednesday attacked a vehicle of Enforcement Directorate (ED) officials during protests outside the residence of former Kerala chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan in Thiruvananthapuram.The workers are protesting against the central agency over its searches at 10 premises in Keralam, including the residences of Pinarayi Vijayan, in the Cochin Minerals and Rutile Limited (CMRL) case, news agency ANI reported.ED officials are carrying out searches at 10 locations, including former Kerala CM’s rented house in Thiruvananthapuram and residence in Kannur, as well as offices connected to the case. Searches are also under way at the residence of CMRL Managing Director Sasidharan Kartha and at the Kozhikode residence of former minister Mohammed Riyas.Meanwhile, Aam Aadmi Party national convener and former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal criticised the Centre over the ED action.In a post on X, the former Delhi CM said the ED raid against former Kerala chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan was “yet another blatant misuse of central agencies by the BJP to target regional opposition parties and undermine democracy.”He further added that the timing of the ED action, after Congress had raised concerns about “inaction,” raises questions about the BJP-Congress relationship. The action follows a Kerala high court order permitting the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to continue its investigation in the case. The court had earlier dismissed petitions seeking to halt the probe and declined requests for additional time to approach a higher court. The ED had argued before the High Court that proceedings under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) can continue even without a prior FIR and pointed out that the SFIO had already filed a complaint in April 2025.The ED investigation in the case was initiated following findings by the Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO), which alleged that payments amounting to lakhs of rupees were made to a company owned by Veena Vijayan for services that were not allegedly rendered.After the central agency issued summons and began searches, company officials approached the court, alleging harassment during questioning and arguing that there was no evidence to justify an ED investigation against the firm.The transactions had earlier come under scrutiny after observations by the Interim Board for Settlement of the Income Tax Department, which questioned their classification as legitimate business expenditure.Following these findings, the ministry of corporate affairs ordered an SFIO probe in January 2024. The ED subsequently issued summons to CMRL officials in April 2024, prompting the company to challenge the agency’s action in court.Get the latest lifestyle updates on Times of India, along with Bakrid wishes, messages and eid 2026!About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.

Watch Siddaramaiah Likely To Step Down As Karnataka CM Amid Congress Leadership Transition BuzzThe leadership debate within the Karnataka Congress has been brewing for months, with repeated speculation over a possible power-sharing arrangement between Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar.According to sources quoted by PTI on Tuesday, the Congress leadership has offered Siddaramaiah a larger national role and a Rajya Sabha seat, paving the way for DK Shivakumar to take over as chief minister for the remainder of the term.However, Siddaramaiah has not accepted the proposal yet, the report said.Meanwhile, Karnataka home minister also said that no one is aware of the discussions held during CM Siddaramaiah’s recent meeting with Congress high command in Delhi, adding that AICC Karnataka in-charge Randeep Surjewala’s visit to Bengaluru is expected to bring clarity amid ongoing speculations.The Congress leadership also reportedly held day-long discussions with both Karnataka leaders in an attempt to resolve the prolonged tussle over the chief minister’s post. Despite the speculation, the party officially denied that any leadership change was discussed during the meeting.Earlier in the day, Siddaramaiah was seen paying floral tributes to country’s first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru on his death anniversary.BJP targets Congress over Karnataka power struggleFormer Karnataka chief minister and BJP leader Basavaraj S Bommai attacked the Congress over the reported leadership crisis in the state. Referring to the possible removal of Siddaramaiah, he said, “Whenever a chief minister is removed, it has an effect. If an OBC leader is removed, the OBC people will be unhappy. This will create a lot of problems for the Congress in the 2028 assembly elections.”He also criticised the Congress government’s administration and questioned whether a leadership change would improve governance. “The Administration in Karnataka has collapsed. No development work is being done. The people are suffering. I don’t think DK Shivakumar has a magic wand to change this. The deterioration which started at the time of Siddaramaiah will continue with Shivakumar. By the end of their term, the govt will be in shambles, and the State will be in a poor condition.”“We have been raising this issue, but there are a lot of power-hungry people in Congress who are not bothered about what the Opposition or the people say. This is why they (Congress) will pay the price in the next elections.”The Congress leadership has intervened several times since the formation of the Karnataka government in 2023 to manage tensions between Siddaramaiah and DK Shivakumar. Supporters of Shivakumar have repeatedly claimed that a rotational chief ministership arrangement was agreed upon at the time of government formation, although the Congress high command has never publicly confirmed such a formula.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.
