If political leaders try to politicize some ordinary issue or stir controversy to gain some political mileage it can be understood, because they are made for it. But, two students’ groups of Osmania University stirring controversy over conducting beef and pork festivals in the campus can’t be justified as they are supposed to concentrate on their studies to achieve their goals in lives.

 

A group of students prepared to conduct beef festival and another group of the same university sharply reacting to their announcement said they will conduct pork festival in the campus. Perhaps, this is not what expected from the OU students, but the political parties behind may be using the hot blooded students as their pawns in their political chess games.

 

Telangana deputy Chief Minister Mahmoud Ali sensing troubles asked the students to focus their attention on their studies rather than on silly things like these. He suggested them to eat beef in their homes or in wedding functions but not in the OU campus. He asked both student groups to maintain peace in the campus.
