Meat ban in IIT Mumbai
Posted [relativedate] at [relativetime time_format=”H:i”]
Decades ago, our nation is a clear example of the phrase ‘Unity in Diversity’. Unfortunately, not anymore. Given the communal violence, and attacks in recent times, the law and order have been jumping out of their positions for quite a bit of time. After BJP came to power, the call for banning beef resulted in a violent attack against beef-eaters, where some even died in the process.
Esteemed institutions like IIT Mumbai are facing the wrath of rising communal violence in the nation. A cafeteria in the Civil Engineering Department in IIT Mumbai reportedly banned meat. The move came after a group of vegetarians raised objections on non-vegetarians eating in silver plates. ‘Vegetarian food used to be served in silver plates and non-vegetarian food in plastic plates. After few students started eating non-veg in silver plates, the vegetarians raised objections, stating that, it is hurting their sentiments. Hence they came up with the proposal to ban meat on the campus,’ said a source associated with the IIT Mumbai campus.
Reacting on this, student union groups staged protests terming the management’s move as hypocrisy and calling them hypocrites.
Meanwhile, a spokesperson of the Civil Engineering Department clarified that there is no meat ban as rumored.
