BJP and PDP leaders are eating cow meat and pig meat together and are two faces of one coin. Muslims and people across Kashmir should boycott them: NC MLA Akbar Lone pic.twitter.com/EAfM1Jwjn7 — ANI (@ANI) December 30, 2017

"BJP and PDP leaders are eating cow meat and pig meat together and are two faces of one coin," Lone said.

Lone even urged the Muslims and people of Jammu and Kashmir should boycott them.

Consumption of beef is highly conflicting to Hindu beliefs, while in the Muslim community, it is pork.

In Jammu and Kashmir, a majority of BJP leaders is Hindu and a majority of PDP leaders is Muslim. 

The BJP and the PDP are running a coalition government in the state.

This not first time Lone has made a controversial statement.

Earlier, he had said that those who have joined hands with the (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh) RSS and BJP, are not Muslims. 

The people of Kashmir should boycott the people who joined hands with the BJP, RSS.
