MNS defies meat ban, to sell mutton at Agar Bazar today

September 10, 2015 10:08

As a political row erupted over the ban on sale of meat for four days during the 'Paryushan' Jain holy festival beginning Thursday, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena workers have announced to sell mutton at Agar Bazar in Dadar today to defy the ban.

The ban, imposed by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation will be implemented on September 10, 13, 17 and 18 when slaughter of meat will be stopped in the Deonar abattoir and sale will not be permitted in the city.

Political acrimony over the ban on meat by civic bodies in Mumbai during the Jain fasting days grew with ruling BJP ally Shiv Sena on Wednesday vowing that it would ensure there is no such restriction.
