Demand for ban on selling non-veg on roadside during Navratri!
The festival of navratri is starting from tomorrow (Sunday, 30 April). During this time, there is a demand for ban on non-veg in many states including maharashtra and Delhi. maharashtra Deputy chief minister Eknath Shinde's party Shiv Sena has also made a similar demand.
Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Nirupam said, "The holy festival of navratri is starting from tomorrow. The Goddess will arrive. A large number of Hindu devotees will fast and worship the Goddess. Devi Sthapana will be done in temples of mumbai, in different areas of Mumbai. Yagyas will be done. In such a situation, Shawarma stalls are open on the streets in mumbai and non-veg is being sold there, this is hurting the sentiments of Hindus."
Shops selling non-veg should be closed - Sanjay Nirupam
He said, "There are more than 250 such Shawarma stalls in Andheri East. Today we are going to MIDC police station against this and requesting the police to at least close the shops selling non-veg (meat-fish) on the streets during navratri days.''
Sanjay Nirupam said, ''If someone is selling non-veg in a closed restaurant, he can do so, but selling non-veg on the streets during navratri days definitely hurts the sentiments of Hindus.'' Earlier, bjp MLAs in delhi Ravindra Singh Negi and Karnail Singh raised the demand to close the non-veg stalls. They demanded a ban from the government in the assembly. On this, minister Pravesh Verma said that necessary instructions have been given to the officials.
