Gou Gram Yatra is turning into a mass movement

Gou Gram Yatra is turning into a mass movement
Jammu: (visakeo)October 7: The 108-day Vishwa Mangal Gou Gram Yatra is fast assuming the form of a mass movement in its initial days. The enthusiasm developed by the yatra and the views expressed by the leaders in public meetings have started agitating the people. The speeches of the saint and leaders in the yatra are exhorting the people. On the other hand the subyatras being taken out in many states are awakening the people at the grass root level. The groups of workers are educating the people about the need of cow protection and preservation.
On the first day itself the people waited for hours at the places fixed to welcome the yatra in bright sunlight. The yatra is normally moving late due to the unprecedented reception being accorded by people at different places. People stop the yatra in the middle way and do not allow it move further till they formally welcome the saints and express their commitment for cow protection. People in villages are found happier as they feel that it is for the first time that somebody is fighting for their cause. People from all sections of the society including children, youth, old and women are participating with full vigour and furvour. The yatra has also washed away the image of Indian youth who are depicted as anti-Indian culture by a section of the media. The youth were seen highly energetic for cow and village protection. They are taking interest in getting the information about cow and village protection.
The way the villagers extended welcome to the yatra in Punjab is a clear indication that they are ready to fight for their rights and also for cow protection. The yatra is not only mobilizing the common man for cow protection but is also establishing the fact that the forces committed to restore pride of the nation have not yet weakened. Women in Hisar, Haryana, distributed more than 10,000 food packets to the gobhaktas. An emotional wave has been seen in the areas of Punjab too where the yatra visited. It also received warm welcome while entering in Jammu today, which is considered highly sensitive for security.
