After creating a storm in several states over the last few months, the beef politics have now entered Hyderabad. The President of All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul Muslimeen (AIMIM) Asaduddin Owaisi today gave a sensational speech during his GHMC poll campaign in the Old City.
Addressing a larger group of voters, Asaduddin stated, ‘No beef if AIMIM is not in power.’ ‘The people of minority community will have to forget about eating beef, if MIM is defeated in the election,’ said the MIM MP.
Asaduddin also reminded the voters about the discussions of beef ban in Hyderabad. The firebrand leader also quoted how the BJP-Shiv Sena alliance imposed a ban on consuming beef for 8 days after coming into power in Maharashtra in March, 2015.
Asaduddin accused the BJP government of targeting minorities and Dalits by banning beef consumption. Meanwhile, the BJP leaders countered Asaduddin’s provoking saying that the request to not eat beef was made only for one day on Hanuman Jayanthi.
