Shiv Sena (UBT) MLA Aaditya Thackeray has criticised the Kalyan-Dombivli Municipal Corporation (KDMC)'s decision to close all slaughterhouses and meat shops on August 15, Independence Day. He said, "In our house, even on Navratri, our prasad has prawns, fish, because this is our tradition, this is our Hindutva." "This isn't a matter of religion [or] of national interest," he added.
