The Assam government has banned the service and consumption of beef in restaurants, hotels and all public places; the announcement for the same has been made by the Chief Minister, Himanta Biswa Sarma. While the INDI Bloc has been criticising this decision, BJP has slammed the Opposition for their ‘anti-Hindu’ stance on this matter.
Shehzad Poonawalla, the spokesperson of the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) has questioned the several Congress leaders for opposing this ban, just for the sake of it, in ‘vote bank politics’. Shehzad Poonawalla has attacked Congress for not caring about the majority community of Assam – the Hindus.
“They only want to indulge in vote bank politics. It was your challenge, your argument that this thing (beef ban) should be done and now when it has been done, you are opposing it. It shows that for vote bank politics, Congress can go to any extent to harm and hurt the Hindu sentiments. They have already supported the people who say ’Sanatana Samapt’, stand with those who say ‘Sanatana ek beemari hai’; they say ‘ Ram Mandir naach gaana hai’, ‘Pran Pratishtha was naach gaana’, ‘Ram Mandir bekaar hai’ is what the Samajwadi Party had said – so whole INDI Alliance abuses and attacks Hindu aastha – ‘Hindu aastha par karo chot, taaki vote bank se mile vote’”, said Shehzad Poonawalla, slamming the INDI Bloc for its dissentment and aggression towards the Assam Beef Ban.
Supporting Assam government for banning the consumption of beef in restaurants, and public places, BJP MP from Darrang- Udalguri, Assam, Dilip Saikia said that this decision has no communal angle but has been made in favour of the ‘Sanatana’ culture of India. “Assam cabinet has decided to ban beef in public places. I support this decision. Cows are considered as a mother in the Sanatana culture. Beef is a restricted food in the Sanatana culture. We don’t object to its consumption in private but serving beef in public places as most people consider it inedible…This decision has no communal angle but has been made in the favour of the Sanatana culture of India”, Dilip Saikia said.
