May 22, 2015 10:26

In comments set to embarrass the Narendra Modi government days before it completes a year in office, Union Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi on Thursday said "those who cannot survive without eating beef, should go to Pakistan."

Naqvi, who is the Union Minister of State for Minority Affairs, was responding when asked what his government was doing to assure minorities that the government was concerned about their welfare.

"If a certain section is dying because they can't sell or eat beef then this is not the country for them. Let them go to Pakistan or an Arab nation," Naqvi said.
