JAMMU: Pawan Sharma, a senior leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and former state secretary of Jammu and Kashmir, has demanded a complete ban on the sale of meat and liquor during Navratri in Jammu and Kashmir. This demand is likely aimed at promoting a more spiritual and devotional atmosphere during the festival, and showing respect for the Hindu community's traditions, beliefs and sentiments.
Sharma stressed the significance of respecting the traditions, beliefs, and sentiments of the Hindu community, advocating for the government to consider implementing a comprehensive ban on meat and liquor in Jammu and Kashmir. This measure would play a crucial role in upholding the values and principles of the Hindu community, who consider the consumption of meat and liquor as taboo during specific periods, notably during Navratri.
Sharma further stated that the Hindu community has long been an integral part of Jammu and Kashmir's social fabric, and their traditions and customs have played a vital role in shaping the region's cultural identity. By imposing a ban on meat and liquor, the government would be demonstrating its commitment to respecting and preserving the community's values and beliefs.
Furthermore, this ban would also contribute to maintaining social harmony and promoting a sense of unity among the people of Jammu and Kashmir. It would be a gesture of goodwill towards the Hindu community, acknowledging their significant contributions to the region's cultural and social landscape.
In light of the above, Sharma appealed that the government consider the sentiments of the Hindu community and initiate a comprehensive ban on meat and liquor in Jammu and Kashmir.
Sharma's demand is in line with the BJP's stance on promoting cultural and religious heritage. As a senior leader of the party, Sharma has been vocal about various issues affecting Jammu and Kashmir, including the regularization of daily wagers and the need for concrete actions to address their problems.
