'Lord Ram was non-vegetarian' remark by NCP Leader creates huge controversy

NCP-Sharad Pawar faction leader Jitendra Awhad`s statement on Lord Ram has created a huge controversy. In a speech, Jitendra Awhad claimed that `Lord Ram was non-vegetarian`. On Wednesday, addressing party workers in Shirdi, Awhad said, “We don’t read history and forget everything in politics. Ram is ours. Of us Bahujans. Who used to hunt to eat… Ram was never a vegetarian. He was a non-vegetarian. How can a man who lived in the jungle for 14 years remain a vegetarian?” Soon after the `Lord Ram was non-vegetarian` remark went viral, there were protests against the leader. On NCP-Sharad Pawar faction leader Jitendra Awhad`s statement about Lord Ram being a "non-vegetarian", Maharashtra Minister Mangal Prabhat Lodha said urged an action against him.
