Avimukteshwaranand announces OLX-style site to save cows from slaughter

Varanasi: Swami Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati of Jyotirmath, spearheading a national movement to safeguard cows, has announced plans to launch GO-LX — a digital platform conceived to rescue cattle from slaughter by enabling direct purchase.

Announcing the move in a video, the seer said he will buy cows through a new website modelled on OLX. Livestock farmers and traders can advertise cows for sale on the platform. He urged Hindus wanting to sell cows to sell them to him.

"We will not let any slaughterer purchase cattle," said the seer, adding, "We are developing this website at the behest of Hindus. People can sell their cows here. Those dedicated to cow protection will also be able to buy cows and serve them."

He pledged to buy non-milking cows and those being sold for slaughter, with farmers able to sell directly through his website. “Someone with genuine Hindutva will never give a cow to a butcher,” he said.
