Amidst the raging cow slaughter and beef ban row in the country, a High Court judge on Wednesday gave a baffling demonstration on why cow should be made the national animal.
Rajasthan High Court judge Mahesh Chandra Sharma, making a comparison between cow and national bird peacock, said that both the species have many divine qualities.
He called the peacock a lifelong brahmachari citing that it never has sex with the peahen. When asked how peahen gets pregnant then, he shared a preposterous theory that it gets pregnant after swallowing peacock’s tears. “The peacock is celibate and pious, that’s why it is worn by Lord Krishna on his forehead,” he said.
Commenting that cow is as divine as peacock, he demanded the government to allot national animal status to the cow. He also recommended the government to impose life sentience on those who resort to cow slaughter.
The comments would have gone unnoticed but since an honorable High Court judge made these baffling statements, the social media went berserk.
