Ias niyaz Khan on animal slaughter: Niaz Khan, senior IAS officer of Madhya Pradesh cadre, is once again in the discussion due to his impeccable statements. This time, he has given such a statement just before the Bakrid festival, which has sparked a strong debate on social media. Khan has appealed people to adopt a vegetarian life on the occasion of World Environment Day. However, he also clarified that his purpose is not to hurt any religious tradition.
What did IAS Niaz Khan say?
IAS Niaz Khan wrote a post on X (East Twitter) a few hours before Bakrid:
“The blood shed of animals is not appropriate from anywhere.”
“Trees, plants, animals and animals should be protected.”
Khan further said, “On the occasion of Environment Day, it is my appeal that people should adopt vegetarianism. The one who is happy with Allah sacrifice, the same Allah will also be happy with how much you love animals.”
Khan also clarified that he is not opposed to any religion or tradition. Niaz Khan said, “I am not against any religion or tradition. It is a democratic country and everyone has the right to accept their respective traditions. I am a vegetarian myself, so I advise it.”
There was an uproar on social media
This statement of IAS Khan is being seen on social media in the perspective of Bakrid. Some people have supported their views, while many users have called it an interference in religious tradition. Some sections of the Muslim community have described it as a statement given at an inappropriate time during a holy festival like Bakrid.
Who is IAS Niaz Khan?
Niaz Khan is a 2015 batch IAS officer. Earlier he was in the state administrative service. He has been allotted Madhya Pradesh cadre, while he is originally a resident of Chhattisgarh. Khan is also known for his literary work and innocent opinion. He has written famous novels like ‘Brahmin the Great’, ‘War of Kaliyug’.
Even before this, he has been in controversies about cow slaughter, religious fanaticism and comments on social evils.
Will this dispute increase?
This statement, which came just before Bakrid, may once again give rise to debate of religious traditions versus personal opinions. Especially when the statement has come from a government servant and the officer coming from the Muslim community. At present, there is no official response to Khan’s statement, but it will be interesting to see what attitude is taken in the Muslim community and administrative circles.
