The Uttarakhand Assembly passed a unanimous resolution for granting status of ‘Rashtra Mata’ to Cow. The Minister of State for Animal Husbandry Rekha Arya placed the resolution in the Assembly in the post- lunch session on the day.
By adopting the resolution, the Uttarakhand Assembly requested the Union Government to declare Cow as Rasthra Mata.
Participating in the debate on the issue, the Leader of the Opposition Indira Hridayesh said that on one hand, the Government is demanding Cow to be elevated as the mother of nation and on the other hand, the Cows are being found roaming on the streets, uncared for.
The Congress MLA Pritam Singh said that the Government should also ensure protection of Cows.
The House later unanimously adopted the resolution.
Besides, the House passed the Uttarakhand Molasses Control Bill and Uttarakhand Court Fees Amendment Act on the day.
