NDTV
Saket Gokhale has demanded that the Municipal Commissioner of South Delhi issue an immediate circular announcing that the ban is illegal.
The forced shutting down of meat shops in South Delhi during the Hindu festival of Navratri is "completely and absolutely illegal", a Trinamool Congress spokesperson said in a letter to the Municipal Commissioner of South Delhi, demanding an immediate circular announcing that the ban on meat shops is illegal. The controversy, triggered by South Delhi Mayor Mukesh Suryan after he announced that meat shops under his civic body should be shut during the "auspicious period of Navratri devoted to Goddess Durga", has snowballed into a massive controversy with many calling it unfair, and even communal.
