Jain community members staged a protest at Collectorate on Tuesday during Jan Sunwai demanding removal of eggs from mid-day meal in government schools that was recently reintroduced by the state government.
Officials of 40 social organizations, activists took out a rally from Gandhi Hall and reached the commissioner's office and handed a memorandum with their demands addressed to the chief minister and Commissioner Akash Tripathi.
Coordinators of Vegetarian Society organization Prakash Bhatewara Jain and Jineswar Jain said that our country is the country of Ramakrishna Mahavir, it is illogical to provide eggs to the children of the state in the name of protein. “State and most of the children in Anganwadis are vegetarian,” they said.
While giving the memorandum, national general secretary of National Jain Minority Organization Sunil Gang and state in-charge Sunil Dangi said that vegetarian society strongly opposes egg supply in Anganwadi.
National Vice President of All India Jain Conference Mahesh G Dakolia said that there are many items available in vegetarian food items to provide protein to children, which we can supply to children
Bhanwarlal Kaswa and Kailash Nahar of the All India Shwetambar Jain Mahasangh, Yogendra Jain Sanda, condemned the government's move and urged the government not to implement the move.
National President of All India Jain Shwetambar Social Group Federation Piyush G Jain, Sanjay Nahar, Narendra Sancheti said that based on research, eating eggs makes it possible to have terrible diseases like cancer, heart disease, eczema, asthma, paralysis, dysentery.
