An act of brazen provocation has marred Pune’s Ashadi Wari as a Muslim woman reportedly hurled meat at Warkaris and defiantly declared, “Do whatever you want, I’m not afraid.”
This pattern of throwing cow meat pieces in front of temples, suggest that a co-ordinated campaign orchestrated by Islamists to desecrate sacred Hindu places is at play.
Palitana houses Shatrunjay Hills, one of the holiest religious centres for Jains, for it is the abode of first Tirthankar of the current cycle, Lord Aadinath.
According to the Court, the provisions of the 2006 Food Safety and Standards Act and the Food Safety Regulations requiring meat shops to uphold sanitation and other requirements are legitimate constraints on the owners' ability to operate their businesses.
