Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) on Tuesday slammed the Maharashtra Government for banning meat in Mumbai for four days.

RJD leader Manoj Jha said the Maharasthra Government is trying to malign the way people have lived so far.

"I fail to understand what the essential issues in governance are. Are these kinds of issues part of the governance? History bears witness that we have been living together very comfortably having his/her own taste, or food habits and so on and so forth," Jha told ANI.

"I think somehow a very exclusive mechanism is being developed which is detrimental to the idea we have lived so far," he added.

The Maharashtra Government has banned meat in Mumbai for four days, in view of the Jain festival of Paryushan.
