Sanjay Nirupam Calls for Ban on Street-Side Non-Veg Stalls During Navratri

Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Nirupam has urged Mumbai Police to close street-side Shawarma stalls during Navratri, citing harm to Hindu sentiments. He plans to approach authorities for action, while differentiating between street vendors and indoor restaurants. Simultaneously, Milind Deora appeals to Muslims to support government Waqf reforms, amidst nationwide protests.

Shiv Sena's Sanjay Nirupam has called on Mumbai Police to shut down street-side Shawarma stalls during Navratri. He argues that the sale of non-vegetarian food on streets during this Hindu festival offends religious sentiments.

Nirupam noted over 250 Shawarma stalls in Andheri East alone and plans to approach the MIDC Police to request the closure of such outlets during Navratri. He clarified that the demand targets open-air vendors, not indoor restaurants.

Meanwhile, Shiv Sena MP Milind Deora countered opposition parties' claims about the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, encouraging the Muslim community to trust government reforms meant to benefit them. Deora advised the community to avoid being misled and emphasized integration into mainstream society.
