Congress MP Calls for National 'Mother Cow' Status
Imagine cows are like a super important animal that some people think should be treated with extra respect.
A politician named Geniben Thakor is asking the government to give cows the special title of 'Mother of the Nation'.
She says lots of people agree.
Some places, like Maharashtra, already give cows a special status.
She wants the government to do the same in Gujarat, and other people are also asking the whole country to give cows this special status, so they can be treated more respectfully.
Congress MP Geniben Thakor demands 'Rashtriya Mata' status for cows.
She also requests 'Rajya Mata' status for cows in Gujarat.
