Meat ban The BJP has banned cow slaughter as the first sign of its communal agenda, Of course it has got majority in the lower house and there is Constitutional provision for cow protection Now Maharashtra has 9 days ban to appease the feelings of Jains, who otherwise never eat meat and practice ahimsa There is request from some quarters for this act The congress started the practice of 2 days and so BJP finds it convenient to quote Congress Of course it is the Municipality that has imposed the ban and state Govt. with Shiv Sena as coalition partner are at variance perhaps seeking advantage, The opposition never objected it in the discussions, Suddenly it has spread like virus in Kashmir, Rajastan too, The argument that in Kerala mid day meals were deprived to students during Ramadan, is no justification to make it elastic. The Shiv Sena and both Takares have made a common cause to whip up emotions and objections and publicly sell meat on streets of Mumbai .Personal abstinence in solidarity is one thing and compulsion by order is totally impinging on freedom of choice of food the citizens can eat It is mentioned that some fanatical community members o not want other members not to occupy residence along with them. It is another type of intolerance and religious terrorism
Every religious denomination including the majority community in secular India have many fasts, If all their personal fasts are to be forced on others in the guise of religious sentiments, there will no end to such frivolous demands quoting precedents Judge Kaju , who was in favour of 2 days, feels that traditions and other factors were the main considerations for his 2 days order and sees nothing wrong, even though he is not sure if it was the right decision, which has gone uncontested till date BJP wants world to come to India,Sab Ka Vikas Sab ke saath. This type of narrow parochial dictats forced by law on those, who may have nothing to do with it , simply find it is regressive measure, interfering with forced law and denying others to make their own decision BJJ has so far shown its inclinations by voicing, defence for Sanskrit, gita as National book Preponderance with these peripherals has pushed to the background issues of development rapes, employment, black money, corruption, empowerment of women and girls dealing with terrorism and violations by Neighbour, farmers suicides et al Wake up BJP deliver on your promises sincerely, instead of wasting energies on fissiparous tendencies All that BJP is doing is to blame Congress and UPA for their failures to deliver o their promises There is a feeling of hitting the community in trade and earning living and also imposing food habits on others Nelson Lopes Chinchinim
