Bengalis will continue eating mutton on Navami, says BJP leader on Dhirendra Shastri's remarks
West Bengal BJP chief Samik Bhattacharya stated that Bengalis consume kochi patha (mutton) on Navami and intend to continue doing so. Samik questioned if Bengalis should stop eating fish or meat, noting that Swami Vivekananda himself supported these dietary habits, and asked who could possibly be considered greater than him. His comments follow a request from Dhirendra Shastri, also known as Bageshwar Baba, who had urged people to abstain from non-vegetarian food throughout Durga Puja in West Bengal.
