Congress slams government over Alwar lynching, moves adjournment motion in Lok Sabha

The Congress has moved an adjournment notice to discuss Alwar lynching matter in Parliament in which 55-year-old Pehlu Khan was murdered by a group of gau rakshaks (cow protection vigilantes) on National Highway near Alwar in Rajasthan.

Khan and four others were transporting cattle on Saturday when the incident happened. The matter came into light when the videos of the sordid affair surfaced in the media.

Union minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi, responding to the Alwar gau rakshak attack, said that no such incident, as was reported by the media, took place.

Naqvi reacting to the Opposition's move said that the government should not give out a message that it supports cow slaughter.
