Delhi Meat Shop Controversy: Sanjay Singh Challenges BJP MLA, Asks ‘Can You Shut Down KFC?’
A fresh political controversy has erupted in Delhi after a BJP MLA demanded the closure of meat shops during Navratri, arguing that they hurt religious sentiments. Reacting strongly, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Sanjay Singh criticized the BJP’s stance and accused them of selectively targeting small meat vendors while ignoring major fast-food chains like KFC. He questioned why BJP leaders do not take action against international brands selling non-vegetarian food if they are serious about their demand. Singh further alleged that such issues are raised to create communal divisions rather than address real concerns. Opposition parties have accused the BJP of using religious sentiments for political mileage, while BJP leaders argue that their demand reflects the faith of millions. The controversy has sparked a wider debate on whether such restrictions should be imposed in a diverse society like India.
