Much has been said about the recent ban on beef in Maharashtra, done primarily for religious reasons. While some agree, since for Hindus cows are sacred, others believe that freedom of preference in food is a fundamental right.
One such is actor Rishi Kapoor, who vented on Twitter with: 
He continues in a rather militant vein, using what is usually called ‘unparliamentary’ language.
But a number of politicians have taken grave objection to Rishis remarks, and some have retorted abusively on Twitter.
The star is not a man to let things pass and had this to say: “My mantra? Live and let live!!!! Please dont get me wrong I do not advocate killing of animals I am against this shit of double standards of politicians to suit themselves. By the way I love my Pork Chops too like a lot of my muslim friends who have a likewise thinking Laugh when you equate food with religion. Knew this would go wrong! When did I say I have Gau Maas”and I kill cows? Yes I eat beef where cattle are bred for food legally. Not in India We have this funny thing about us Indians to misunderstand and prosecute without knowing the truth. Pehle jaano baat ko phir gaali do Doston Greatly hurt by wrong insinuations by some Hindu radicals and fundamentalists. Pass judgement only after verification. Check my tweets. So sad.
And finally, so that he need not read more abuse on Twitter, he concluded with: Have blocked abusive people. Idiots do not understand simple English but take pleasure in swearing at me. UNDERSTAND WHAT I AM SAYING. Didnt know you also have to interact with unintelligent stupid people. Maine koi Gunah naheen kiya coz I do not relate food with religion. Fed up fed up! When did I say cow slaughter or gau Maas khata hoon. Ye aapne socha aisa maine naheen kaha. Do waqt ki puja karta hoon main. Yes I ate cattle specially bred elsewhere in the world for food like millions like me not killing Gau Maa. Never ever did that here. Sad! Sab gaali aur khaffa ho gaye? Meri baat to sunte. Khair sabko block kar diya who abused me. Not fair to me Hindu Sabha!! Correct them Plz.
Will this be his last word on the matter? Somehow we do not think so!
