In a protest against the four day meat ban in the state, the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) party workers began selling chicken at Agar Bazar in Mumbai's Dadar area. The banning of meat in Mumbai has turned into a political slugfest with various political parties including BJP ally Shiv Sena slamming the Maharashtra Government for imposing such ban. The Shiv Sena says there must be no ban at all. "We will ensure there is no ban on sale of meat for the days," said Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray.

The Maharashtra Government has banned meat in Mumbai for four days, in view of the Jain festival of Paryushan.


Close on the heels of BMC suspending the sale of meat in its markets for four days, now the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation, controlled by the NCP, has announced a similar measure till September 17, as these dates fall within the eight-day Jain fasting period of 'Paryushan'.
