When people ask to declare cow as 'Rashtriya pashu', I say 'You are pashu, she is mother': UP CM

UP CM Yogi Adityanath, while addressing an event, said, "Some people say that the cow should be declared the 'Rashtriya pashu' (national animal)." "I tell them, 'You are 'pashu'; the cow is our mother with a bond that spans lifetimes," he added. In Uttar Pradesh, we have over 7,700 gaushalas where 16 lakh cows are being sheltered, he said.
