Mr. Baiju George:

Uttar Pradesh is governed by Yogi Adityanath. He is the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh and a strong Hindu. He believes in the protection of cows over human beings. There is a proposal to assign social security numbers or social welfare cards to cows to ensure they are protected. The animals are of greater importance to them than human beings. Yogi Adityanath has many farms on which there are only cows. Hindus worship cows and so they are afforded greater protection than human beings. The Government does not recognise religious freedom. Whenever questions are raised about it, the Government promises to address them but it does nothing. When attacks on the churches in Uttar Pradesh are brought to the attention of the police, the police do not react because they are being supported by a Government that favours the Hindus. Uttar Pradesh is one of the leading States in India for the Hindutva ideology. It is the destination for people from around the world who want to visit Hindu temples and learn about Hinduism. As I said, it is the leading State for the Hindutva ideology in India.
