At the Matri Pitru Vandana Program organized by Vishwa Hindu Parishad–Durga Vahini, a far-right monk called for slaughterhouses to be shut down and alleged that byproducts of slaughtered cows are being fed to Hindus through FMCG products, specifically tea, Pepsodent, and Colgate toothpaste, as well as cosmetics. He claimed that FMCG companies are doing this to prevent another Rana Pratap or Shivaji from being born.
