Gujarat govt’s ‘beef is unhealthy’ ad smacks of politics: Congress

Senior Gujarat Congress leader Shakti Singh Gohil on Tuesday alleged that the Gujarat government’s move to declare beef unhealthy as per the Quran is a clear sign of the state BJP playing dirty politics on religion through such advertisements.

“I have myself seen that Muslims in Gujarat respect cows and do not eat beef. The BJP is now only doing politics of religion. They have never read the Gita, the Mahabharata, the Ramayana or the Quran and they make statements without understanding religion. If there is a scarcity of cows then, it is the Muslims who take care of cattle camps,” Gohil told ANI talking on the issue on Tuesday here in the national capital. .

On  the VHP’s call to Hindus to have a minimum of four children, he said, “The growth of the minority has declined sharply. The state government is already running a scheme on family planning, so it should shut down if they want to raise the population of Hindus. The BJP says something, the RSS says something, while VHP says something else.”
