Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP and animal rights activist Maneka Gandhi called the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) the "biggest cheat" in India, alleging that it sells cows from its gaushalas (cowsheds) to butchers. The ISKCON has rejected Gandhi's allegations, calling them "unsubstantiated and false." It asserted that it has been at the "forefront of cow and bull protection" not just in India but globally.
