“Sacrifice Bad Habits, Not Animals This Eid”: RSS Muslim Wing

• Animal sacrifice during Bakrid is a bad practice like Triple Talaq, says MRM
• On September 11, a march from Lucknow to Ayodhya was planned in support for the construction of a Ram temple in Ayodhya
• Eid-ul-Azha (Bakrid) will be celebrated on September 2

Lucknow, Aug 31, 2017: The Muslim Rashtriya Manch (MRM), an RSS affiliate, has appealed to Muslims to sacrifice bad habits and not goats this Eid-ul-Azha (Bakrid).

According to PTI report, "Animal sacrifice during Bakrid is a bad practice like Triple Talaq. People should boycott those advocating sacrifice on the day. Giving 'Qurbani' during Bakrid is 'haram' (not approved) in Islam", said MRM Convenor (Awadh Prant-UP) Syed Hasan Kausar.

"If anyone wanted to give sacrifice, he should shun his bad habits and cut a (symbolic) goat cake on Bakrid," he said.

Kausar said that there were many superstitions amongst Muslims surrounding animal sacrifice and remarked that those with better education would "understand Islam."

Meanwhile, MRM co-convenor K A Khurshid Agha supported a Ram temple in Ayodhya.

"As per Quran, prayers can not be offered at a disputed place, so how can the Babri mosque be constructed at the disputed site in Ayodhya," he said.

Previously, Manch had announced that it would start a nationwide campaign to urge Muslims against consecrating cows on Eid-Ul-Azha primarily in Uttar Pradesh, West Bihar, and Bengal.

A resolution was passed against cow slaughter at an event presided by Indresh Kumar, senior RSS leader, in New Delhi where MRM leaders met Islamic scholars associated with the organization.

Agha said that "Muslims were confused about how to follow the path of Allah and they should come up against animal sacrifice."

On September 11, a march from Lucknow to Ayodhya was planned in support for the construction of a Ram temple in Ayodhya by the organization. The march will reach Ayodhya on September 17, during which the MRM will organize presentations at every third kilometer to convince people about the construction of the temple.
