What is worst than terrorism?

Gyan Dev Ahuja (Facebook page)

Indian politician Gyan Dev Ahuja says, terrorists kill 2-5 people but eating beef hurts the sentiments of thousands of people. Any "misbehavior" with cow which he termed as "Mother" won't be tolerated in India, according to his message.

Ahuja is a three-time MLA in Rajasthan.

He clarified his seemingly pro-lynching statement by saying that cow smugglers be given 2-4 slaps and tie them to a tree. He said that nobody should take law in their hands, and this sounds contradictory, but perhaps that's his way of messaging that the physical action may not be taken too far or to the extent of lynching the cow smugglers to death.

For those who don't know, this came after a week of lynching Rakbar Khan alias Akbar in Rajasthan’s Alwar.

G. Ranga Chary – active internet user – commented to a news item on Ahuja in the following words, "Lynching mobs have the tacit support of present Central government."
