Delhi: BJP MP and former Union Minister Maneka Gandhi has made sensational allegations against the International Krishna Consciousness Association (ISKCON). They have made serious allegations that ISKCON is committing heinous frauds in the country, selling cows to butchers in the name of managing cows.
ISKCON.. is the biggest fraudulent organization in the country. It is receiving benefits from the governments in the name of maintaining cowsheds. When I went to the Anantapur ISKCON Goshala, there was not a single cow there. All were sold to the butchers. Such people come to the roads and chant Hareram, Harekrishna. Do you accuse them of saying that they are living depending on milk?

However, ISKCON denied the allegations made by Maneka Gandhi. ISKCON spokesperson Yudhisthir Govinda Das posted on the X platform that ISKCON is always at the forefront in animal welfare. It is known that Maneka Gandhi, a former Union minister, is also an animal rights activist.
Response to the unsubstantiated and false statements of Smt Maneka Gandhi.
ISKCON has been at the forefront of cow and bull protection and care not just in India but globally.
The cows and bulls are served for their life not sold to butchers as alleged. pic.twitter.com/GRLAe5B2n6— Yudhistir Govinda Das (@yudhistirGD) September 26, 2023
