Vasai-Virar: A video became popular depicting a long line on Holi day outside a mutton shop in Virar. An X user shared a video highlighting the waiting line of Virar locals purchasing mutton (goat meat) from Azeez Mutton shop and remarked in the caption that called out people for criticising animal slaughter only on Bakri Eid but turns a blind eye on other festivals where people enjoy meat.
The post was initially shared by a user on X (@single_soul1), reacting to the lengthy line outside the mutton shop, pointing out that the Jain community does not object to Hindu celebrations where meat is consumed, yet it seems to only condemn Islamic festivals for doing likewise.
The X user (@HumairaMirza7) reposted the post with caption that stated: "Now, during Bakra Eid, everyone will suddenly remember 'Animal lives matter'., There was a huge queue at Azeez Mutton shop in Virar during Holi."
When it comes to certain restrictions that are imposed on religious customs, a unfair play is always seen amongst the communities claiming the restrictions are only placed on them and not the other religions or customs.
More often the restrictions against customs are keeping environment, cleanliness and sustainability in mind. Restrictions on animal sacrifices, water cut-off, bans on firecrackers and music are some of the examples.
