'If this is according to your religion, then keep it with yourself. You cannot impose your opinions or beliefs on others. We know the law of this country and we don't need to learn from you. They cannot impose on people to become vegetarian.' Raut told ANI.

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has banned sale of meat for four days during the Jain festival of Paryushan.
