New Delhi, Feb 7: The BJP government of Haryana, which has imposed ban on consumption of beef, is now ready to create a special dispensation to enable foreigners to eat beef in the state. Chief Minister and BJP leader Manohar Khattar has said he is open to offering foreigners living in his Haryana relaxation from the strict beef ban imposed by his government.
“If we have to work out some facility for them [foreigners] to be able to [consume beef]… we will do it. It could be a special licence… [as] whatever is licensed, no one can oppose [under] the law,” Khattar said, according to a report published by a reputed national daily.
Asserting that the ban in the state was just imposed to keep in line with Haryanvi customs, Khattar said, “Everyone has a personal lifestyle for eating and drinking, especially those who come from abroad… we don’t have any opposition to that. In fact, we are not opposing this for anyone.”
The statement comes months after the Haryana chief minister had sparked a controversy in October 2015 with his remarks about the beef ban when he was quoted saying that Muslims will have to give up eating beef if they wanted to live in India.
The Khattar government had passed the Haryana Gauvansh Sanrakshan and Gausamvardhan legislation in March last year but got President Pranab Mukherjee’s approval only in November.
According to the Gauvansh Sanrakshan and Gausamvardhan Bill, cow slaughter in Haryana will invite rigorous imprisonment ranging from three to 10 years and a fine of up to Rs 1 lakh.
Any person who attempts to export cows for slaughter would be imprisoned for not less than three years and up to seven years. Fine between Rs 30,000 and Rs 70,000 would be imposed.
Hubballi, Jan 28: Charting that the Bharatiya Janata party’s Central leaders have not given a free-hand to the Chief minister B S Yediyurappa on the issue of expansion of Cabinet, former Chief minister and the Congress leader Siddaramaiah had opined that 'it has hampered the State’s development'.

We are GHULAM to westerners, We ban consumption of BEEF in India, but, we want to EXPORT millions of tons of BEEF for foreigners. We ban consumption of BEEF in India because consumption of Muslims, But, we want to give special license to serve BEEF to foreigners.
Congress fought against the westerner's Ghulamgiri, Now, BJP want to become GHULAMS again.
