BENGALURU: Adding fuel to the fire that has engulfed the nation, chief minister Siddaramaiah on Thursday attacked the anti-beef eating policy and speculations of the right wing organizations behind the Dadri killing.
At the Karnataka Youth Congress General Body meeting, Siddaramaiah said the anti-beef eating policy was absurd and that BJP and its affiliated parties cannot take the individual rights of people to eat the meat of cow.
"Till date I have never eaten cow meat. But if it suits my palette and if I want to eat beef, I will eat it. Nobody can stop me," he said.
Siddaramaiah recalled the recent raid by the Delhi police on Kerala Bhavan, on the issue of the State bhavan storing beef.
"I was still in Delhi when the police entered the Kerala Bhavan suggesting that beef was being circulated for food. And this, without the knowledge of Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal. How can anybody stop people eating what they want?" he questioned.
Siddaramaiah raked up the Dadri killing, the murder of the victim Akalaq as being "inhumane" and suggesting the growing intolerance in the nation.
"The right wing parties including Bajarang Dal, Sri Rama Sene, Vishwa Hindu Parishat etc. are all showing growing levels of intolerance under the BJP regime at the Centre. The beef eating controversy is part of this growing intolerance in the country," he said.
