If Naqvi tells people to go to Pakistan to eat beef what about those wishing to eat prawns, turkey and crabs?

Jammu, May 23: When the Union Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi suggested to beef lovers to go to Pakistan where they could eat beef,he had no such sermon for those loving to devour fish,or prawns,or crabs or,turkeys or turtles or snakes or ducks.Why he has singled out those who wish to eat beef ?Yes,he has a reason because he was defending ban on cow slaughter.
It is but natural when cow slaughter is banned in India in letter and spirit those who wish to eat beef can have no opportunity for being served with a plate of beef either in hotels,or restaurants or in their homes.Possibly that is the reason for Mukhtar Abbas to suggest to those wishing to eat beef to go to Pakistan where there is no ban on cow slaughter.
While trying to justify ban on cow slaughter Mukhtar Abbas has said "It is not about loss or profit... it is an issue of faith and belief. It is a sensitive issue for the Hindus.""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 and added "Even Muslims are against it..
Well Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi has not made it clear whether those wishing to visit Pakistan for eating beef will be given valid travel documents including visa on the airports or they have to apply for the passports, which is a cumbersome process. Assuming that Naqvi wants all those wishing to visit Pakistan or Saudi Arabia for eating beef have to apply for passport the Ministry of External Affairs may reject issuance of the passports on the plea that the applications were incomplete.The applications could not be processed because no fee was deposited and not a single application carried photographs of the applicants.
It is not a story that is based on imagination.Those who are suspicious of what has been stated earlier should refer to the story pertained to the fate of the application for passport which Kashmiri separatist leader,Syed Ali Shah Geelani had submitted to the passport authority.According to the Ministry of External Affairs Geelani's application could not be processed because he had not deposited fee and the application did not carry his photograph and many details had not been furnished.One does ask the Passport authorities one simple question. Why was the application accepted when Geelani's photograph was not there and he had not deposited fee and had not filled several columns with complete details of his biodata? Once a section of people visited Pakistan for beef eating will they be allowed to return to India or not ? This question needs to be elaborated by Naqvi. Will those who visit Pakistan for eating beef be dubbed, later, as terrorists? This too deserves an explanation from Naqvi.
And the same formula or process can be adopted or enforced when beef lovers apply for passports for visiting Pakistan or Saudi Arabia for eating beef. Possibly this process may not be applied in case of those wishing to eat snakes in China,crabs in the US, prawns in France,ducks in the UK.Well those wishing to eat snakes,prawns,crabs,turtles ot ducks can enjoy these dishes within India because there is no ban on their slaughter.
Well it would have been better if the BJP led NDA Government had prepared a proper note,on the basis of medical research carried out during the last over 50 years,which could highlight the harmful effects of beef eating.There have been a number of butchers in Kashmir who would not hesitate slaughtering lambs,sheep and goats but were totally opposed to slaughtering a cow or a buffalo because their forefathers had warned them about the harmful consequences of beef eating.
