VHP's Durga Puja Meat Ban Guidelines Spark Debate In Bengal

VHP issued guidelines for Durga Puja in West Bengal urging a ban on meat and fish sale near pandals, sparking a political debate. JD(U)'s Shyam Rajak supported the move but questioned animal sacrifice practices. Congress's Udit Raj opposed it, calling VHP "goons" and asserting dietary choices as a constitutional right. VHP said it seeks traditional sanctity.
