On Wednesday, 7 February, yoga guru Baba Ramdev said that cow should be declared the national animal of India.
Speaking at an event to announce his biopic named 'Swami Ramdev: Ek Sangharsh’ in Delhi, Ramdev told ANI:
If tiger and peacock can be the pride of the nation, then why can’t a cow be one?
This is not the first time that the yoga guru has spoken in favour of cows. In 2015, he had asked the Narendra Modi government to impose a nationwide ban on cow slaughter. He had also said that the killing of a cow is as heinous a crime as killing a human being, reported Hindustan Times.
