Head of India's BJP 'rebukes politicians' in beef row
18 October 2015 India
The head of India's governing BJP party, Amit Shah, has reportedly rebuked four BJP politicians for making controversial statements about beef.
One of them had remarked that those eating beef should be executed, even though it is not illegal.
In recent weeks three Muslim men have been killed by Hindus accusing them of eating or smuggling beef.
Most Hindus believe cows are sacred but many do eat beef, as do Muslims and Christians.
Another of those believed to have been scolded by Mr Shah had dismissed the lynching of a Muslim man accused of eating beef as an "accident".
