BHUPALPALLY : Bhupalpally district collector A Murali, who a few days ago tried to set an example by admitting his daughter to a government hospital for her delivery, on Friday courted a controversy by terming Brahmanical culture as the “worst culture” and calling upon people to kill wild boars to eat meat.
The IAS officer made a mockery of the Ayyappa Maala Deeksha and other religious vows taken by Hindu devotees, saying, “After taking these stupid religious vows, people are refraining from eating beef and meat. People are taking vows in the name of various gods. Bullshit). All this is waste. I ask the people of our community (Dalits) to continue eating beef.”
While taking part in a programme organised at Eturnagaram agency area on the occasion of World TB Day, the senior bureaucrat said cases would not be registered against anybody who kills wild boars for their meat.
“We are SCs and STs who eat beef. We have been eating beef and meat for thousands of years. But, all of a sudden, a majority of us stopped taking beef. Brahmanical culture has imposed a foolish and misguided notion on us that eating beef is not right,” the senior bureaucrat told the local Dalits and Girijans.
According to him, as people have stopped eating beef, pork and meat, the menace of wild boars rampaging through agricultural fields has gone up.
“I am ready to eat the meat of wild boars as I have never tasted it so far. There are so many wild boars in our district. Hunt them and eat them. As per the latest rules framed by the Union government, killing and eating wild boar is not a crime,” the district collector said.
