Those consuming beef should eat dog meat too: West Bengal BJP chief
Burdwan (WB): West Bengal BJP president Dilip Ghosh courted controversy on Tuesday when he said intellectuals who consume beef and "demean" cows should also eat dog meat.
His remark drew sharp reactions from senior TMC leader Subrata Mukherjee, who said "people of Bengal would be the best judge of such insane statements". Ghosh, a Lok Sabha MP from Bengal, also said that "any meat" should be eaten at home, not on roads.
Insisting that cow milk contains gold, the state BJP chief said people take pride in cleaning excreta of foreign pet dogs, but has no reverence for "our mother".
"Few intellectuals eat beef on roads, I am asking them to eat dog meat too. Their health will do fine, no matter which animal they eat, but why on roads? Eat at your home," Ghosh told reporters on the sidelines of a programme here.
Demeaning and killing of cows is a crime in India, the parliamentarian claimed.
"The milk of desi cows contains gold. That is why it is golden in colour and also healthy. There are some intellectuals who find it humiliating to worship cow as mother but take pride in cleaning excreta of foreign dogs," he said.
Anyone who misbehaves with "my mother" will be treated the way they should be, Ghosh warned.
"Indian cow is a special breed which has gold in their milk. Foreign breeds such as jersey cows don't have gold in their milk. Also, their milk is not as healthy," he insisted.
Mukherjee, who is also the state panchayat minister, said it was best for him not to react to Ghosh's remarks. "What can we say about such statements? The people of Bengal will be the best judge of such insane statements," he added.

Hyderabad woman commits suicide after allegedly getting injected with HIV-infected blood by relative
Hyderabad: A 22-year-old woman committed suicide in Hyderabad about a month after a relative allegedly injected her with HIV-infected blood after she rejected a marriage proposal, police said.
The woman is identified as Ramani. She was found dead at her grandmother's home in Annojiguda on Friday morning, according to The News Minute.
According to police, the accused, a 24-year-old man related to the victim, had been in a relationship with her. Initially their families had agreed to their marriage but the proposal was later withdrawn after medical tests confirmed that the man was HIV positive.
According to investigators, the accused allegedly injected his own blood into the woman at her home on March 11, after his marriage proposal was refused. Police said he obtained a syringe and committed the act when she was alone, allegedly with the intent of forcing her into marriage.
The incident was discovered when the woman told her relatives and was sent to a medical checkup. The accused was detained in March and put in judicial prison on allegations including attempted murder.
Police said a suicide note was recovered from the scene in which the woman mentioned being distressed by the manner in which the incident was discussed on social media. Family members stated that she had been undergoing emotional distress and had developed health complications following the assault.
