After Beef, It’s Meat Ban In Mumbai With #meatban Trending Top On Twitter. It’s BANTASTIC

After beef ban, an order has been passed to shut slaughter houses in the course of Paryushan, Jain fasting period which is going to begin on September 10, 13, 17 & 18. This order passed when VTAS (Vishwamaitra Trust Ahinsa Sangh) demanded and Mira-Bhayander municipal corporation put a ban of meat selling in that region for a period of 8 days.

Nevertheless, it’s assumed that this ban has been put for political benefits and getting more votes.

In the words of Maulana Hakim Mehmood Dariyabadi, All India Ulema Council’s general secretary, “Why only mutton and beef, why not fish and chicken? Tomorrow if they do that there will be problem from the Koli community. This is being done only to affect Muslims who are politically weak.”

As stated by Maulana Fayyaz Baqir, “By this logic Muslims should be asking for a ban on alcohol. But it would be wrong because we would want alcohol not to be consumed throughout the year and not just Ramzan.”

At this point, it’s worth mentioning that Shiv Sena is against this ban and according to Neelam Dhawan, Shiv Sena Corporator, “People of different religions live in the city. You cannot put restrictions on what people eat even if it is during the fasting period. Nobody is taking anything to their homes. This is all politics.”
