Were it just another politician of the country, people would have ignored or laughed at such a remark but when it is a sitting Chief Minister making a comment like this, there are reasons for rational voices to object.
Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar kicked a hornet’s nest by saying that Muslims can continue to live in this country but they will have to give up eating beef.
The 61-year-old BJP leader was speaking on the beef controversy that has kept both the politicians and the intellectuals of the country preoccupied for over half a year now.
Muslim rahein, magar is desh mein beef khaana chhodna hi hoga unko. Yahan ki manyata hai gau (Muslims can continue to live in this country but they will have to give up eating beef. The cow is an article of faith here),” Khattar was quoted as saying by The Indian Express.
