Khokan Biswas, assistant joint secretary of the group, stated that while Bakri Eid is an important festival for the Muslim community, cow slaughter remains a matter of concern for Hindus.
He urged authorities to prohibit cow slaughter on the day of the festival.
“Cows are sacred to Hindus and play a vital role in our culture and daily life. Slaughtering them deeply hurts religious sentiments,” said Biswas, stating the animal’s religious and utilitarian significance.
