Swami Chakrapani, the leader of the All India Hindu Mahasabha, has said that people who eat beef must not receive any kind of help in flood-hit Kerala.
He also added that if the flood-hit victims write on an affidavit that they will never eat beef again, only in that case they should be provided relief and assistance.
In an interview to India Today TV, Swami Chakrapani that the act of killing cows have caused massive floods and destruction.
The floods in Kerala have claimed over 200 lives, and displaced over 10 lakh people from their homes.
The Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi had announced announced a relief of Rs 500 crore to the state, in addition to Rs 100 crore announced by Home Minister of India, Rajnath Singh.
Many in India had criticised the move and said that assistance of Rs 500 crore to flood-battered Kerala was “too little”, and Modi could have been “more generous” towards the state.
With estimates running around Rs 22,000 crore losses due to the floods, the ‘too little’ aid, in addition to blocking of International aid is seen by critics as a political punishment for a state that had not voted for the ruling party.
