Those who eat beef should go to Pakistan,"

A row erupted over beef consumption on Friday after Indian Union tourism minister KJ Alphons advised foreign tourists to eat beef in their country and not in India, reported Hindustan Times.

When asked by reporters at a convention of the Indian Association of Tour Operators in Bhubaneswar on whether a crackdown on beef consumption was adversely affecting tourism in the country, Alphons said: “They can eat beef in their country and come to India.”

The new minister after taking over had defended beef-eating in states like Kerala and Goa. “In Goa, ruled by BJP, people continue to eat beef. Kerala will also continue to eat beef, BJP doesn’t really have a problem with that,” he said. But when reminded on Thursday about his earlier statements, he appeared to be dismissive. “That is a cock and bull story...I am not the food minister...I am the minister for Tourism.”

Earlier, the minister told the convention that India is the oldest civilisation and the whole world should come and see us. “We have to love our history and our country. We have to tell them...look here, this is a beautiful country,” he said in his introductory remarks.

The crackdown on the beef industry became a raging debate in the last few years, with a wave of attacks on Muslims and Dalits suspected of either transporting cattle or storing meat. About 30 people have been killed in cow-related violence since 2010, according to reports.

The controversy has continued to dog the government with minister of state for home affairs Kiren Rijiju in May this year taking exception to his colleague and union minister for minority affairs, Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi’s remarks that those who eat beef should go to Pakistan.

“I eat beef, I’m from Arunachal Pradesh, can somebody stop me? So let us not be touchy about somebody’s practices,” Rijiju had said.

Pakistan should promote 'Beef tourism' in the country...ideal opportunity to earn precious foreign exchange, ease the VISA rules for Indians, and start co branding, package tours with tour operators to put Pakistan in the travel itinerary...of EU and USA/Canada tourists visiting India.

Beef up the tourism sector in Pakistan...can't get a better opportunity.
