A group of students at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras conducted a beef festival, showing their agitation against the Centre recent order against selling cattle thus imposing an indirect beef ban.
More than 80 students supported the cause by participating in this fest late on Sunday night calling the Centre’s idea as ‘Food Fascism’.
Students had bread and beef curry and claimed that the event was to passively protest against the Centre’s curb over selling cattle for slaughter in the market which would affect beef consumption.
