MUMBAI: Maharashtra Congress president Harshwardhan Sapkal condemned proposals by civic bodies to ban meat sales on Independence Day , reports Prafulla Marpakwar.
"We are stunned and surprised over the new proposal of the govt, it will be wrong on the part of Mahayuti to give directions on consumption of food on Independence Day," he said. The govt has clarified it is not directing what people should eat, while civic bodies say the ban is on slaughter.
Sapkal alleged BJP had no role in freedom struggle and sided with British. He accused it of pushing "one nation, one leader" & eroding India's unity.
