In Lok Sabha, DMK leader Senthikumar said, “The people of this country should think that the power of this BJP is only winning elections mainly in the heartland states of Hindi, what we generally call as the ‘Gaumutra states’.”
The 'gaumutra' jibe has been used by Islamists and their apologists, including the Pulwama terrorist Ahmed Dhar who had said he killed the CRPF soldiers to kill those who 'drink cow urine', to mock Indians, especially Hindus.
