The gau rakshaks are all set to bring their collective strength to the national capital. Come November, they will bring together around one lakh gau-rakshaks will be in Delhi for an ‘awareness programme’ on cow protection.

The event is organised by former RSS ideologue, Govindacharya.

Emphasising that anyone associated with the RSS cannot go against gau rakhsha, Govindacharya, said“We will organise such awareness programmes at state levels throughout India".

The plan to hold the mass gathering comes at a time when Prime Minister Narendra Modi had come out openly against 'fake gau rakshaks', and the violence against dalits by cow vigilantes.

Many right-wing groups including the VHP had come out against Modi's statement and reiterated that they won't retract even after the stern warning from the government.

Ever since the Una dalit flogging incident, the BJP has been on the backfoot.

The party has been trying damage control ahead of the crucial elections in UP next year where the dalits are a sizeable vote bank.
