Questioning the Maharashtra Government's beef ban order ahead of a Jain festival, Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut on Tuesday said that one cannot impose beliefs and opinions on others just because they (Jains) consider it to be wrong

"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.
