Bengaluru: Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) leader Sadhvi Saraswati has courted controversy after she urged the Hindus to buy and carry swords to protect their homes and cows.
Addressing a public meet at the Hindu Sangama Programme, which was organized by the VHP and Bajrang Dal at the Karkala Gandhi Maidan in the Udupi district in Karnataka, the Sadhvi urged all Hindus to make it their moral duty to protect ‘Gau Mata’ (Holy Cow).
“Across the world Gau Mata (Cow) is respected, but in Karnataka, the cow is killed for meat. Such slaughterers have no right to live in this country. Cows are being stolen from the cowsheds of Hindus showing arms. We all should carry swords to save the Gau Mata,” she added.

The VHP leader went on to say that when people can buy phones worth lakhs of rupees, they definitely can buy swords and keep them at homes to ensure they protect the cows from those who want to slaughter them.
She further said, "Some anti-nationalists are praising Tippu Sultan in Karnataka. We should protest against them. Government should bring strict laws against Cow slaughter, Conversion and Love Jihad."
"Bhagavad Geeta says that every soul is the child of God and every life is divine. Bharat Matha is our land. We should fight against love Jihad and put an end to cow slaughter," she added.
Vinay Guruji of Gaurigadde, Sri Kalahasthendra Swamiji of Anegundi Math also addressed the gathering.
VHP and BD leaders M B Puranik, Bola Srinivas Kamath, Kadthala Vishwanath Poojary, Sunil KR, Sharath Hegde and others were present.
