Mar 17, Kathmandu- The incident of stoning a cow in Bajura has been raised in Parliament.

Nepali Congress MP Sita Kumari Rana raised the issue during an emergency session of the House of Representatives on Monday.

"The incident in Kavre, Ward No. 6, Bajura Jagannath Rural Municipality, shows how low people can stoop in the name of tradition," she said.

"The heartbreaking incident that took place after the cow sacrifice makes anyone cry," Rana said. "The cow is afraid to go into the river, but the government should strictly investigate those who violated the right to life of innocent animals by throwing stones."
