Patna, December 18: Union minister Giriraj Singh on Monday asked the people to eat Jhatka meat to make Sanatan Dharma more strong. “In Sanatan Dharma, we have a tradition of sacrifice (Bali Pratha) in worshipping Hindu gods and goddesses. The sacrifice is always done through Jhatka and we must eat Jhatka meat to make Sanatan Dharma more strong,” Singh told his supporters in his Begusarai constituency on the second day of his visit.
