Re: [IAC#RG] Stop Meat Export, Ban Cow Slaughter & Make India Healthy

Dear Mr. Gaur

I think Col TTK was referring to my reply to our friend Vinod Bansal-ji.

Let me say firstly that this thread and the various comments posted
(which I have been carefully observing since the start) shows that 80%
of this list clearly does not have what it takes to be
"anti-corruption fighters". Yeah, sure they can posture, do
naare-baazi, email-baazi, Twitter+shitter, but after that ZERO.

Did anyone before replying to Mr. Jasim Mohd's post even examine it,
its self evident mistakes, or question why it is drafted like this ?
Everyone from the Hindu-party was so happy to see a solid respectable
Muslim member of UP (Director of Aligarh's Muslim Chamber of Commerce)
no less, writing music for their ears in highly polished language.

Let me clearly tell you that anybody who cares to check online will
see that a) There is no such notable Muslim Chamber of Commerce
Aligarh, and the email ID used "jasimoffice@gmail.com" is a throwaway
account used for the first time on our list.

Further, Mr. Jasim Mohd, is a veteran of AMU politics and pressure
politics posing as a anti-corruption person who uses RTI in UP. He is
actually a declared ardent Congress supporter, and this post about
banning cow slaughter in UP is simply a Congress game-plan to get BJP
to somehow ban beef exports as they promised pre-polls. The affected
persons will be the low caste Muslims in the animal trade (Butchers,
tanners, skinners, leather industry) and is intended to drive these
categories back to the Congress (which is the high caste Muslims). BJP
has seen through this game.

For the record, India's "beef exports" is 96% buffalo meat, low grade,
half the price of international beef from Australia and Brazil and
most of the buffalos slaughtered are males, old and diseased or
suffering from Foot and Mouth disease which Indian bovines develop due
to overuse of anti-biotics and other chemicals to boost milk
production. India largest customer for such "beef" is China, which due
to WTO norms smuggles it in through Vietnam and Thailand. This beef is
also used for havala trade which is in the hands of bania community
doing under-invoicing between India and China counter-trade. So you
can all be reassured that unless the BJP is exceptionally foolish
there is no danger of "beef export" being banned in long-term.
