Members of Hindu nationalist BJP attack Muslim MP for serving beef at a party

    Politicians from India’s ruling Hindu nationalist BJP party have beaten a Muslim member of the Kashmir state assembly, after he served beef at a private party in a hostel for state lawmakers.

    Rashid Ahmed was kicked and punched before being rescued by opposition MPs. India’s majority Hindu population consider cows to be sacred. Most Indian states have tightened laws banning the sale and consumption of beef and there has been an increase in violence against Muslims accused of breaking the ban.
