Congress alleged that BJP MP Nitin Nabin ate non‑vegetarian food during the fasting month of Sawan; the party issued a response to the claim.
On a recent occasion, the Congress party publicly claimed that BJP parliamentarian Nitin Nabin consumed non‑vegetarian food during Sawan, a month when many Hindus observe a fast and avoid meat. The allegation was shared widely on social media and picked up by news outlets.
The Bharatiya Janata Party subsequently issued a statement addressing the allegation. While refraining from commenting on personal dietary habits, the party said it would examine the matter and warned that such claims could be used to stir communal sentiments.
The episode underscores how religious observances are increasingly becoming flashpoints in political discourse, with opposition parties often highlighting personal conduct to question leaders.
As of now, neither Nitin Nabin nor his office has released a detailed personal clarification on the issue.
