Twitter Trolls Maharashtra Government’s Four-day Meat Ban

A 4-day ban on the sale of meat in Mumbai during an upcoming Jain festival has not go down well on Twitter.

After the beef ban, comes the meat ban in Mumbai. This time to protect the religious sentiments of the Jain community during their festival of fasting. The demand for the ban was put forward by several Jain organisations, and was supported by the BJP. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has imposed a four-day prohibition on the sale of meat in Mumbai. People took to Twitter to express their anger against this unfair ban.

Maharashtra is behaving like a nagging wife, deciding what you eat #meatban and u can't find faults in it or else #sedition charges

I'm happy I don't live in Mumbai. A govt which bans meat to appease Jains will force me to eat meat on Bakr Eid to appease Muslims #meatban

Few years from now, Maharashtra govt will decide whom you should marry, how many times you should have sex annually, how many kids to have.
