When the ban was imposed during the Congress-NCP regime, nobody protested. Now, the Congress and NCP are fishing in the troubled water, saying the ban is not justified. The MNS and Shiv Sena cadres are openly selling meat, chicken and fish on the streets. Uddhav Thackeray has asked his cadres to ensure that mean ban loses its impact.
The Mutton dealers in Mumbai have moved the Bombay High Court, protesting against the ban. The issue will be taken up for hearing tomorrow. The meat ban has been imposed in Mumbai on September 10, 13, 17 and 18 during the Jain festival ‘Paryushan’.
