KOLKATA: A public debate has emerged in West Bengal following an appeal by Dhirendra Shastri urging people not to consume non-vegetarian food during the Durga Puja celebrations. In his address, he appealed to devotees to abstain from meat and observe vegetarian practices during the sacred festival. The remarks immediately drew strong reactions from various quarters, initiating discussions regarding regional dietary traditions and cultural practices.
Durga Puja in West Bengal holds distinct cultural traditions where specific culinary habits form an accepted part of the celebrations. Consequently, Shastri’s appeal was seen by many as contrary to local customs and individual preferences. The issue quickly escalated from a social talking point into a significant political discussion, generating sharp exchanges across various public forums.
With the controversy escalating and public sensitivities involved, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) found it necessary to come forward with a public clarification. The party stated that the appeal made by Dhirendra Shastri was his personal opinion and had no connection with the party’s official position. The BJP reiterated its respect for Bengal’s heritage, culture, and dietary diversity, aiming to separate itself from the remarks and prevent political tensions during the festival period.
