Bengaluru Jan 9: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Monday questioned his Uttar Pradesh counterpart Yogi Adityanath for questioning eating habits, while clarifying that he did not consume beef.

"Who is he to question our eating habits? Many Hindus consume beef. If I want to eat beef, who is he to object? I don't like beef so I don't eat it," Siddaramaiah tweeted. He was responding to Adityanath's attack, questioning Siddaramaiah's credentials as a Hindu for promoting beef-eating.

Siddaramaiah also hit back at Adityanath over protection of cows.

Adityanath had criticised Siddaramaiah for failing to curb the slaughter of cows.

"I have grazed and fed cattle. I have cleared cow dung. Has Yogi Adityanath, who talks of cow protection and care, grazed cattle? What moral right does he have to talk of cow protection?" Siddaramaiah asked in another tweet.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday held talks with Jordan’s King Abdullah II in Amman, during which the two leaders discussed ways to further strengthen bilateral relations, with the Prime Minister outlining an eight-point vision covering key areas of cooperation.

Describing the meeting as “productive”, PM Modi said he shared a roadmap focused on trade and economy, fertilisers and agriculture, information technology, healthcare, infrastructure, critical and strategic minerals, civil nuclear cooperation, and people-to-people ties.

In a post on social media platform X, the Prime Minister praised King Abdullah II’s personal commitment to advancing India–Jordan relations, particularly as both countries mark the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties this year.

“Held productive discussions with His Majesty King Abdullah II in Amman. His personal commitment towards vibrant India-Jordan relations is noteworthy. This year, we are celebrating the 75th anniversary of our bilateral diplomatic relations,” PM Modi said.

The meeting took place at the Al Husseiniya Palace, where the two leaders also exchanged views on regional and global issues of mutual interest. According to the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), both sides agreed to further deepen cooperation in areas including trade and investment, defence and security, counter-terrorism and de-radicalisation, fertilisers and agriculture, infrastructure, renewable energy, tourism, and heritage.

The MEA said both leaders reaffirmed their united stand against terrorism.

PM Modi arrived in Amman earlier on Monday and was received by Jordanian Prime Minister Jafar Hassan, who accorded him a formal welcome. Following the talks, King Abdullah II hosted a banquet dinner in honour of the Prime Minister, reflecting the warmth of bilateral ties.

Jordan is the first leg of PM Modi’s three-nation tour. From Amman, the Prime Minister will travel to Ethiopia at the invitation of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali, marking his first official visit to the African nation. The tour will conclude with a visit to Oman.
