Union Tourism Minister KJ Alphons has a piece of advice for Foreign Tourists having plans to visit India. To a query if the beef ban imposed by few State Governments have a negative impact on Tourism, He replied: 'Tourists can consume beef in their country before landing in India'.
Addressing the gathering at a convention of the Indian Association of Tour Operators in Bhubaneswar, The Union Minister said: 'India is the oldest civilization. We have to love our nation and our history. People from across the World should tour India. We should be in a position to tell them India is a beautiful country'.
After his swearing-in ceremony, Alphons made it clear Centre hasn't imposed any 'food code' on the states. He points out people in Goa and Kerala continue to eat beef but BJP have no problem with it.
As the advice he offered to Tourists went viral, The Former Bureaucrat-turned-Minister said what's been reported is a cock & bull story created by someone else. 'I am the Minister for Tourism, not Food Minister,' he concludes.
