Bengalis eat mutton on Navami, will keep eating that: BJP on Dhirendra Shastri's meat ban call

West Bengal BJP president Samik Bhattacharya said Bengalis eat kochi patha (mutton) on Navami and will keep eating that. "Will Bengalis not eat fish? Will Bengalis not eat meat? Even Swami Vivekananda approved of this, and who stands above him?" Samik added. This comes after Dhirendra Shastri (Bageshwar Baba) appealed to avoid non-vegetarian food during Durga Puja in West Bengal.
