New Delhi, May 29 (IANS) Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad on Monday slammed the Congress after its youth wing leaders in Kerala publicly slaughtered an ox - as part of protests against new cattle slaughter rules - terming the incident "shameful" and "provocative".
"I condemn the act of the Congress leader who slaughtered a calf in public view. This was a shameful and provocative act," Prasad told reporters here.
He said that BJP did not want to suppress food habits of people but slaughtering a calf in protest was barbaric and unfortunate.
