Assam Brahmin Group Files FIR Against Shankaracharya Over Beef Remark
The Assam Brahmin group filed a police complaint against a religious leader who said Brahmins in Assam eat beef.
The group says this is not true and hurts their feelings because cows are sacred to them.
They want the religious leader to apologize and provide proof of his claim, but haven't received either.
They are asking the police to take action and could protest if the issue isn't resolved.
Assam Brahmin Front filed an FIR against Shankaracharya Swami Nishchalananda Saraswati.
The FIR concerns the Shankaracharya's remark that Assam Brahmins traditionally consume beef.
