Chief minister of Haryana Manohar Lal Khattar told that Muslims want to live in India then they will have to give up eating beef.
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 and mother of Hindus.
There is no need to eating beef by Muslims. “They can be Muslim even after they stop eating beef, can’t they? It is written nowhere that Muslims have to eat beef, nor is it written anywhere in Christianity that they have to eat beef,” he said.
The top Bhartiya Janta Party leader made the remark while replying to questions on how he viewed the lynching last month of a Muslim man named Mohammad Ikhlakh in Bisada village of Uttar Pradesh over rumours that he ate beef.
“But I say that attacking and killing the person was also wrong,” he said. Those responsible for the lynching could be prosecuted under several sections of the law, he said.
He said the cow; the Gita and Saraswati were articles of faith for the majority in the country and Muslims would not violate their religious beliefs by giving up beef.
The Chief Minister Khattar, who has been associated with the RSS for nearly four decades, listed the Haryana Gauvansh Sanrakshan and Gausamvardhan law adopted by the Haryana assembly to ban cow slaughter as one of the achievements of his government.
Violation of the law is punishable with a 10-year jail term and beef-eating can land an offender in prison for five years.
“Eating beef hurts the sentiments of another community; even constitutionally you cannot do this. The Constitution says you cannot do something that offends me, I cannot do something that offends you,” he said.
