Vice-President M Venkaiah Naidu on Monday raised the issues of "beef ban" in the country, saying one can eat beef if he wan🌄ts, but why to have festival for the same.
"You want to eat beef, then eat. Why festival? Similarly, a 'Ki🔜ss Festival', if you wish to kiss why do you need a festival or anyone's permission for it," Naidu said, while addressing a gathering at Platinum Jubilee Celebrations of R.A. Poddar College of Commerce.
Further hitting out at Parliament attack convict Muhammad Afzal Guru, Naidu said "The𒁏n you have Afzal Guru. People 🍰are chanting his name. What is happening? He tried to explode our parliament".
On February 8, an alert advisory had been issued in Jammu and Kashmir in the w🎃ake of the death an💧niversaries of Parliament attack convict Muhammad Afzal Guru and Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) founder Maqbool Bhat.
The advisory comes after the JKLF announced to stage a prot𒈔est against the hanging of Afzal Guru and Maqbool Bhat on February 9 and February 🌠11.
Guru and 🍷Bhat were hanged and buried inside New Delhi's Tihar Jail on Febru🤡ary 9, 2013 and February 11, 1984 respectively.
Naidu talking about beef festival could be directed to the reports of July 2017 when students of IIT-Madras held a 🍷beef festival inside the campus to protest against the cattle slaughter ban.
In the past too, Naidu had addressed the beef issue; while stressing on how food is an individual's choice he said that he is a ꧟strict non-vegetarian and nobody told him to what to eat or what not.
