Suvendu Adhikari Eats Fish In Temple. BJP Says This Must End Non-Veg Row

In other parts of the country, eating non-vegetarian food in a temple would invoke the wrath of religious heads and attempts to convert to a more acceptable diet that excludes meat and eggs. In some of West Bengal's temples, that's nothing but a regular affair.It is tradition.But when Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari relished fish at the centuries-old Kalighat temple in Kolkata, the focus wasn't on his plate but on remarks that have echoed in the city over the past week. A Hindu priest had admonished the Bengali Hindus who consume non-veg during Durga Puja.Adhikari visited Kalighat last evening on the occasion of Kaushiki Amavasya, considered auspicious by Shakta Hindus. A video showed him sitting on the floor and having the bhog that comprised a massive fish head, iconic to the Kalighat bhog platter.
