Union Minister Kiren Rijiju today said he had been "misquoted" on his reaction to union minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi's comments that those who want to eat beef "can go to Pakistan." Mr Rijiju had been quoted by a newspaper as saying on Tuesday: "I eat beef, I'm from Arunachal Pradesh, can somebody stop me? So let us not be touchy about somebody's practices." The Minister of State for Home had now clarified. "I was misquoted. When the civil societies and press asked me if they have to go to Pakistan for beef consumption, I said India is a secular country and food habits cannot be stopped but the Hindu faith and sentiment must be respected in Hindu majority states, same as other communities have rights in their own dominant states," he said.
