| Lawmakers in India-held Kashmir punch colleague for serving beef |
| 2015-10-09 |
| [DAWN] Lawmakers from India's ruling Hindu nationalist party in India-held Kashmire have kicked and punched an independent member of the state assembly for hosting a party where he served beef. Slaughtering of cows is banned in most Indian states. Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) members beat politician Engineer Rashid Ahmed, a Muslim, in the assembly soon after its session began Thursday. Other opposition politicians rescued Ahmed and later staged a walkout. The ruling party politicians were angry over a party hosted by Ahmed the previous night at which he served beef. Differences have deepened within Kashmire's ruling coalition, with the Hindu nationalist party demanding a ban on slaughtering cows and selling beef in the Muslim-majority state. |
