Panaji: Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) is capable of imposing complete ban on cow slaughtering and beef eating in Goa within next one or two years without involving the State government, a senior functionary of the organisation said today.

“Like everywhere else in the country, in Goa too we are awakening people against cow slaughter and beef eating. You will have to wait for another one or two years and our Bajarang Dal and Durga Vahini workers will stop cow slaughter in this state,” VHP’s senior leader Radha Krishna Manori told reporters in Vasco town today where he had come to address an event on construction of Ram Temple at Ayodhya.

He said that the VHP will not require help of any government authority to stop cow slaughter or beef eating, as its wings – Bajarang Dal and Durga Vahini – are capable enough to do it.

“Hindus worship cow as mother. We strongly profess ‘dharma raksha’ which also includes ‘gau raksha’. VHP is stopping cow slaughter through Bajarang Dal and Durga Vahini, we are not demanding anything from the government,” Manori said.

“VHP is strong enough to get things done, which it wants. Why won’t it stop? It has to stop,” he commented referring to the beef ban.

“We will do what Hindu society wants.. We will not allow cow slaughter or allow anyone to eat beef in Goa,” Manori said.
