Uproar in Rajya Sabha for cow vigilantes bashing up women in MP over beef rumour

New Delhi/Mandaur, Madhya Pradesh, July 27 (IBNS) : The opposition charged up a ruckus in the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday over the bashing of two women in Madhya Pradesh allegedly for carrying beef.

Condemning the incident and attacking the BJP, Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati said, "BJP raises 'Mahilaon ke samman mein, BJP maidan mein' slogan, yet in BJP ruled Madhya Pradesh women thrashed on beef rumours.

Senior Congress member Ghulam Nabi Azad also critical of the Government and saidt Dalits and Muslims should not be targeted in the name of cow protection:

Minister of State for Minority Affairs, Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said that violence in any state is condemnable, we don't justify anything, adding, "MP government has taken action."

The incident occurred at Mandaur in Madhya Pradesh, on Tuesday as a mob led by cow vigilantes slapped, kicked and punched the women at a railway station allegedly in presence of police.

Reports said even after the police arrested the two Muslim women on the suspicion of carrying beef, a proscribed item to possess in the state, the mob continued to beat them up and the law keepers did little to protect them.

In a video, taken by one of the onlookers, the women were seen being cornered by a crowd that is heard screaming "Gau Mata Ki Jai (Hail holy cow)". They are slapped and punched by the women in the mob for about half an hour until one of them collapses.

Reports quoted police as having claimed that they had recovered 30 kg of meat from the women.

The consignment was examined by a local doctor who pronounced it buffalo meat, not beef, claim the police.

The women are, however, have still been charged, because they did not have a permit to sell meat and no action has reportedly been taken against those who thrashed them.

State home minister Bhupendra Singh on Wednesday said: "No can take law in their own hands. A probe will be conducted."
