After Meat Ban, Controversy in Rajasthan Over Government Order on Bakr-Id | Read
In the middle of a row over BJP-ruled states imposing a meat ban for a Jain fasting festival, a government order in Rajasthan has stirred more controversy. Days after announcing a meat ban, Rajasthan has ordered schools and colleges to prepare for blood donation camps on September 25, to mark the birth anniversary of Deen Dayal Upadhyaya, an icon of the BJP and its ideological mentor Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. The day coincides with the Muslim festival of Bakrid, which is a holiday, but will not be this time.
