Swami Swaroopanand in May 2015 welcomed the decision of the
Maharashtra government to extend ban on cow slaughter to bulls and
bullocks in the state and opined that it would increase the production
of milk which will in turn help feed children in the country.. He stated
that more than 12 crore cows were being slaughtered in the entire
country every year which needed to be stopped. "This Act should be
implemented throughout the country. India is a Hindu majority country
still we produce a huge quantity of beef. India is the biggest exporter
of beef which is shameful for us. The government should ban export of
beef and we must protect cows by all means. Some political leaders
opposed the law banning cow slaughter just to appease Muslims and other
minority groups. Providing beef in the name of cheap source of protein
to minority and depriving the majority from milk is against both the
democratic and Indian values. Milk is a rich source of protein, and to
ensure availability of milk it is essential to put a blanket ban on cow
slaughter across the country."
He said in February 2016 that the RSS claimed to be working for
Hinduism but thousands of RSS workers in Arunachal Pradesh ate beef.
