Burdwan, Nov 5: West Bengal BJP president Dilip Ghosh slammed 'few intellectuals' for consuming beef and stated that they could also eat dog meat as it will not 'affect' their health.
"Few intellectuals eat beef on roads. I tell them to eat dog meat too. Their health will be fine whichever animal they eat," Ghosh said while addressing an event here on Monday.
Ghosh also cautioned those who would misbehave with cows and claimed that the animal is 'our mother'.
"Cow is our mother, we stay alive by consuming cow milk, so if anyone misbehaves with my mother, I will treat them the way they should be treated. On the holy soil of India killing cows and consuming beef is a crime," he added.
He further claimed that the milk of desi cows contains gold and which is what brings out the golden colour of the milk. Ghosh then compared desi cows to videshi cows and asserted that only the former can be considered as gau mata.
This was not the first time that Ghosh raised eyebrows with his remarks. Earlier in August, he warned a senior police officer of Mecheda in East Midnapore saying that if he misbehaved with any party worker, his body would go missing and his family will not even be able to perform his last rites.
