Aaditya Thackeray’s remarks came after a report that the Kalyan-Dombivli Municipal Corporation ordered the closure of all slaughterhouses and meat shops on August 15.
Slamming the civic body, he further said, “The Commissioner of Kalyan-Dombivli should be suspended. I don’t know who he is. What we eat on Independence Day is our right, our freedom. They cannot tell us whether to eat veg or non-veg. We will eat non-veg. We eat it in our house.”
