MNS workers intensified their protest against meat ban on Saturday by staging a meat toran or garland protest in front of a Jain temple in Mumbai.
A group of workers made meat garlands, which were really chunks of meat tied to a string, and protested in front of a temple. Some of them also burnt meat on the spot.
The Jain community, which is in the middle of its Paryushan fasting ritual, was shocked. A few Jain leaders had sought a ban against animal slaughter for a few days during Paryushan saying killing and the sight of meat went against the sentiments of the festival.
In response Mumbai civic bodies had banned meat for four days in Mumbai and for eight days in the Mira-Bhayander area.
Though meat had been banned for two days in the past, the extended prohibition angered many political parties and the people as well.
On Thursday, Shiv Sena and MNS workers defied the ban by selling chicken meat in the busy Dadar area.
