New Delhi:
Taking a cue from Union Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi’s ‘beef ban’ statement in Parliament, former Supreme Court judge Justice Markandey Katju on Friday said that he, being a Hindu, has eaten beef and will continue to eat it.

On his Facebook page, he wrote, “I am a Hindu, and I have eaten beef, and will again eat it. There is nothing wrong in beef eating. 90% of the world eats beef. Are they all sinners? And I refuse to believe that cow is sacred or our mother. How can an animal be a mother of a human being? That is why I say 90% Indians are idiots, Mr. Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi included.”
Naqvi on Thursday in Parliament asked beef eaters to go to Pakistan. The Union Minister was trying to justify ban on cow slaughter.
While speaking at a media conclave, Naqvi said, "It is not about loss or profit... it is an issue of faith and belief. Jowever, those who are dying without eating beef, can go to Pakistan or Arab countries or any other part of world where it is available." he said.
The statement was made by Naqvi while countering AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi in the Parliament. Beef ban was imposed across India, especially in states like Goa, Jammu and Kashmir and Kerala and Maharashtra.
