A significant political row has erupted over civic bodies across the country ordering meat shops and slaughterhouses to remain shut on Independence Day, August 15th. The opposition has described the ban as an act of food policing, leading to a clash between the BJP and opposition parties. Hyderabad MP and AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi has condemned the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation’s directive for closures on August 15th and 16th, calling the meat ban a violation of citizens’ right to liberty, livelihood, culture, and religion. Similar bans have been imposed in multiple districts across Maharashtra, including Shambhaji Nagar and Kalyan. The Maharashtra government, through Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, insists it has no intention of regulating food choices, claiming such bans have existed since 1988. The situation raises questions about food becoming political fodder and the policing of citizens’ plates. #meatban #independenceday #politicalrow #itwebvideos #foodpolicing #august15 #civicbodies #india #hyderabad #maharashtra #asaduddinowaisi #aimim #devendrafadnavis #constitutionalrights #freedomofchoice #indiatoday
