Varanasi | Thursday | 2nd November, 2017

Summary:

VARANASI: Amid violence and politics in name of 'gau raksha', Mohammed Faiz Khan from Raipur is on a 12,000 km Leh-to-Kanyakumari march — 'Gau Seva Sadbhavana Padyatra' — to generate mass awareness about cow protection , cow rearing, medicinal qualities of milk and its products. The yatra has been organised by the Muslim Rashtriya Manch affiliated to RSS. "I began the journey from Leh on the occasion of 'Sindhu Darshan Utsava' on June 24," Faiz told TOI while leaving for Mughalsarai. Instead of going to madarssa, Faiz received his primary education in Saraswati Shishu Mandir in Raipur and did MA in Hindi and political science. "We should serve and protect the cow, which is the saviour of mankind," he said adding that it is unfortunate to see violence in the name of cow protection..
