Contentious comments

Yadav is known to opine things that are a departure from the standard norms of the Judiciary of India such as—

Scientists believe the cow is the only animal that inhales and exhales oxygen. This [cow's milk] gives special energy to sunrays, which ultimately causes rain. Panchgavya which is made of cow milk, curd, ghee, urine and cow dung helps in treatment of several incurable diseases. [2]

Parliament must bring law to pay ‘rashtriya samman’ (national honour) to Lord Ram, Lord Krishna, Ramayan and its author Valmiki besides Gita and its author Maharishi Ved Vyas, as they are the culture and heritage of the country [3]

Cow is the culture of India and the work of saving the culture is of every citizen living in the country irrespective of religion. Fundamental right is not only the prerogative of beef eaters, rather, those who worship the cow and are financially dependent on cows, also have the right to lead a meaningful life. India will prosper only if cows are revered. [4]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Cattle slaughter in India</span> Aspect of cultural practice

Cattle slaughter in India, especially cow slaughter, is a controversial phenomenon due to cattle's status as adored and respected living beings to adherents of Dharmic religions like Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism and Jainism. Also, many of the Zoroastrians/Parsis living in India stopped eating beef out of respect, as it is sacred for the people of Dharmic religions; while it is an acceptable source of meat in Abrahamic religions like Islam, Christianity and Judaism. Cow slaughter is shunned because of the cow's association with Lord Krishna in Hinduism, primarily due to Krishna's role as Gopala or Govinda, meaning "protector of cows" or "cowherd." This association reflects the importance of cows in Hindu culture and spirituality and because cattle have been an integral part of rural livelihoods as an economic necessity. Cattle slaughter has also been opposed by various Indian religions because of the ethical principle of Ahimsa (non-violence) and the belief in the unity of all life. Legislation against cattle slaughter is in place throughout most states and union territories of India.
