Swami Vivekananda had refused to join cow protection outfits: DK leader

Chennai, Mar 6: Taking strong exception to the Maharashtra government’s ban on beef, Dravidar Kazhagam president K Veeramani on Thursday said eating habits are the fundamental rights of an individual and no government has a right to decide on them.

swamyDescribing the move as ‘anti-Constitutional and anti-secular’, he said a majority of the people in the world eat beef and it was a nutritious diet available at a cheaper rate to the poor. Religious chauvinism should not deprive people of their fundamental right, he asserted.

The beef ban, he alleged, was part of the ruling party’s Hindutva policy and not based on the principle of ahimsa, as meat of a particular animal that is considered sacred had been banned. “If giving milk is the criteria, what about buffaloes that too produce milk? Why are buffaloes not protected?” he asked.

Quoting Swami Vivekananda’s views on protecting cows, the DK leader said feeding the hungry people was more important than protecting cows or any other animal. The revered saint had also refused to join an organisation to protect cows, saying that he would not join such organisations that give heaps of food to birds and animals without sympathy for human beings.

Eating beef was an ancient custom and part of several yagnas cited in Vedas, he said and added that it was mentioned in Valmiki’s Ramayana. The DK was prepared to start a propaganda in favour of beef by arranging beef feasts like it did in 1972, Veeramani said, adding that the ban should be challenged in court.

Echoing him, Socialist Democratic Party of India leader Tehelan Bhakavi said beef was consumed by the poor who were involved in physical labour. He added that eating beef was an ancient custom found in the Ramayana and other Puranas.

Bengaluru, Jan 16: Senior Congress leader K J George on Thursday appeared before the Enforcement Directorate officials here in connection with a FEMA case.

The former minister is being investigated by the ED for probable violation of provisions of the Foreign Exchange Management Act.

The ED had recently issued summons to George.

Speaking to reporters after appearing before the ED, George said he has answered to the officials' queries and will cooperate further also.

"ED had issued me summons, as a law abiding citizen, I have answered and gave documents to whatever they asked.

Further also if they call me...I will cooperate and provide necessary documents," he said, without divulging any details.

George clarified that no summons has been issued by the ED to members of his family.

"If required they (ED officials) will call me again, and I'm ready to cooperate," the congress leader added.

Last year, the president of the Karnataka Rashtra Samithi Ravi Krishna Reddy had complained to the ED seeking a probe into the alleged money laundering and properties held by George and his family members in the United States.

Responding to a question about a defamation case filed by him against those who have levelled the allegations, George said "Just because ED has called me for questioning, I'm not proved guilty."

"Anyone can complain to agencies like the Income Tax or ED or Lokayukta, but my only objection is with going to the press to project someone as guilty," he said.

"...going to the press with an intention to do a propaganda against me..someone who is in public life-- to project me as guilty is wrong, so I have filed defamation case stating the allegations are false," he added.

George is the third senior Congress leader from Karnataka to face an ED probe after D K Shivakumar and B Z Zameer Ahmed Khan.

Shivakumar was arrested by the agency in a money laundering case and was kept in Tihar Jail, until he got bail in October, while Khan was summoned in connection with the multi-crore IMA group Ponzi scam case.
