Kiren Rijiju, Union Minister of State for Home on Friday said that no minister could tell a citizen what to eat. The minister added that discussions on food habits are not good for the country's health. After his recent trip to Mizoram, Kiren faced agitation from the civil society there in regards to beef consumption. At an Aaj Tak event, he said, "as a Minister I cannot direct anyone what to do and what to eat.”
