Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath. (PTI Photo/File)Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath on Sunday said, “Gaumata (cow) is a symbol of faith and pride for us. We can’t see it suffering on the streets.”
The Congress leader said protection and conservation of cow is a priority for the state government which has decided to open 1,000 gaushalas. “For us, Gaumata is a matter of faith, not politics,” he said.
