Right wing activists demand the removal of meat shops, after beef found in BJP MLA’s house

Two days after the alleged recovery of beef from BJP leader’s house in Dewas district of Madhya Pradesh, the right-wing activists on Friday demanded the removal of mutton and chicken shops from the town.

Saying these shops near temples and schools hurts their sentiment, the right-wing activist ask the complete clouser of the shops.

It is to be noted that MP Police on Wednesday arrested a BJP leader and four of his relatives for allegedly slaughtering a cow at his home in Tonkkhurd, about 30km from Dewas.

Right-wing activists allegedly claim that they heard a cow mooing in pain inside and seized meat and a skinned head that they claimed its of a cow.

All meat shops in the town are owned by Muslims, who have alleged that right-wing outfits have launched a campaign targeting them.

“It is their government. I don’t know what they wrote but it was not cow meat,’’ said Anwar’s elder brother. Anwar was vice-president of BJP’s district minority cell, but was expelled after the incident.

However the Maulana of local Mosque calls for the family boycott: “I gave a call for boycotting the family during my Friday namaz if the laboratory report confirms it as a cow meat.”
