A day after seven people were killed in Amarnath terror attack, Shiv Sena Chief Uddhav Thackeray took a jibe a jibe at the Bharatiya Janata Party and said that had the terrorists had “cow meat” in their bags the “gau rakshaks” would not have spared them. While addressing various Ganesh pandals representatives, Thackeray said that the party should send the “gau rakshaks” to deal with the terrorists.

Two of the victims killed in the attacks reportedly hailed from Maharashtra. “They (the BJP) used to say that do not bring sports, culture etc. in the political issues. Today, religion and politics came together in the form of the terror attack. Should we understand that none of those terrorists would have been alive today if they had the cow meat in their bags than weapons? The issue of ‘gau rakshaks’ is raging today. Why don’t you send these cow vigilantes to face terrorists?”, he said.
