Appeal for ‘cow hug day’ unconstitutional: AITUC

The Hindu  

Left-wing trade union All India Trade Union Congress questioned the appeal of Animal Welfare Board of India to mark February 14 as ‘cow hug day’. “AITUC also calls upon the Union government to initiate stringent action against the official responsible for issuing such an unscientific appeal,” it said. “The appeal to ‘hug cows’ on February 14, Valentines Day, is an unabashed mockery of a scientific and civilised society. Unscientific, illogical and far-fetched ideas of any individual or a political party or an ideology cannot be allowed to malign the scientific quintessence of secular India by using government machinery,” the statement said.
