Former Rajasthan MLA and Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) leader Gyandev Ahuja ignited controversy on Saturday (August 3) by connecting the Wayanad landslides to cow slaughter practices in Kerala. The BJP leader asserted that such incidents will persist wherever cow slaughter is practiced.
Speaking to the media, Ahuja claimed that the landslides in Wayanad are a direct result of cow slaughter and warned that similar tragedies will continue unless this practice is halted in Kerala.
"Since 2018, we have observed a pattern where areas involved in cow slaughter face such tragic incidents. If cow slaughter does not stop, similar tragedies will continue to occur in Kerala," Ahuja said, reported India Today.
The former MLA further stated that while natural calamities like cloudbursts and landslides are common in areas such as Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh, they do not lead to disasters of this scale.
A many as 215 bodies have been recovered so far from in Wayanad after massive landslides hit north Kerala district on July 30. The 215 deceased include 87 women and 30 children.
