‘Cow is the faith of crores of Indians…’, know why Shia scholar Maulana Javed Haider Zaidi won everyone’s heart.

Lucknow. Since the statement of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, the political and social temperature of the country has been on the rise regarding cow and religious beliefs. Amidst this hustle and bustle, the country’s well-known young Shia religious leader Maulana Javed Haider Zaidi has entered. What Maulana Zaidi said while reacting to the Chief Minister’s statement is being discussed everywhere at the moment. He said in clear words that cow is the main center of faith of crores of people of this country, hence it is the moral responsibility of every Indian to protect its dignity and respect.

Actually, Maulana Javed Haider Zaidi is known for his progressive and balanced views. He laid special emphasis on the fact that the real identity of India lies in its common culture and Ganga-Jamuni culture. During the conversation, while giving advice to politicians and social organizations, he said that it is very important to maintain the decorum of language while talking on any religious issue. We should speak such a language which does not divide the society, but works to unite it.

Support for the demand to declare cow as national animal

This is not the first time that Maulana Zaidi has openly expressed his opinion regarding cow. In fact, on several occasions in the past, he has openly supported the demand to declare cow as the national animal. He believes that it would be wrong to look at the cow through the prism of only one religion. Cow has been the backbone of our Indian culture, age-old agricultural tradition and rural economy.

Maulana Javed Haider Zaidi says that when a large population of the country considers the cow to be revered and gives it a special place, then concrete steps should be taken at the national level for its protection.
