On Thursday, Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah added more fuel to the fire by saying that no one could stop him from eating beef. At the Karnataka Youth Congress General Body meeting, he ridiculed the government’s anti-beef policy and was quoted saying: “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 recalled the Kerala House incident where the police entered the premises after hearing rumours about beef being circulated. He also called the Dadri incident inhumane and said that right-wing organisations like the Bajarang Dal, Sri Ram Sene, Vishwa Hindu Parishat were showing growing levels of intolerance under the BJP regime.
