Mangaluru, Sep 13, 2015 :  Reacting on the recent ban on meat in Maharashtra, Jammu and Kashmir, Chhattisgarh and Rajastan, Former Union minister B Janardhana Poojary said that no political party has the right to decide what people should or should not choose to eat.

He said that the government cannot give an order not to eat meat. Except BJP, all allies in NDA are opposing the ban on meat. The BJP is trying to target Jain community, which is peace loving. The government is trying to create communal rift through meat ban. While Prime Minister Narendra Modi is giving calls for the people to unite, his party is trying to separate communities through meat ban and the like. Banning meat trade will affect the economy.

While India is the major exporters of meat, Gujarat is the largest exporter in the nation. It is not possible to export meat without killing cows. However, Narendra Modi has not banned it in Gujarat. Similarly, it has not been banned in Goa.
