Lord Ram was non-vegetarian: MLA Jitendra Awhad

Ajit Pawar's faction has become aggressive in Thane over the statement of Sharad Pawar MLA Jitendra Awhad in the NCP meeting in Shirdi.

Activists of the Ajit Pawar faction protested in front of Awhad's bunglow. The workers also held the picture of Lord Shri Ram and raised slogans of Jai Shri Ram.

The meeting of the Sharad Pawar faction was held in Shirdi. In this meeting, MLA Jitendra Awhad gave a statement regarding Lord Shri Ram. While this statement was being opposed at every level, in Thane the workers of Ajit Pawar Group protested by performing Maha Aarti outside Awhad's private residence.

At this time the workers were taken into custody by the local police and there was an atmosphere of tension in the area for some time. A large number of police forces have been deployed in the area.

What did Jitendra Awhad say?

Jitendra Awhad had said, "Ram was not a vegetarian, he was a non-vegetarian. How can Ram, who lived in exile for 14 years, be a vegetarian?" Rice did not exist during the time of Lord Rama, so what were they eating? Ram was a Kshatriya and the food of Kshatriyas was non-vegetarian. If anyone calls my statement controversial then can someone tell me whether Ram ate leafy vegetables? 80 percent of the people in this country are non-vegetarian, they are also Ram devotees."
