<p>Shiv Sena members allegedly forced more than 300 meat shops in Gurgaon&#39;s bustling Sector 14 to shut down, <a href="http://www.hindustantimes.com/gurgaon/kfc-300-meat-shops-forced-to-close-by-shiv-sainiks-in-gurgaon-for-navratri/story-sOx16YVWaB4CGR5khLPB6I.html" target="_blank">The Hindustan Times</a> reports. This coincides with Navratri, a nine-day Hindu festival where followers eat only vegetarian food.</p>

<p>The shuttered shops include the popular American outlet, KFC. More, the men also want the area shops to be closed every Tuesday, a day when Hindus devotees are not supposed to eat meat.</p>

<p>A man named Ritu Raj, claiming to be the district spokesperson for the Shiv Sena, commented on the situation&nbsp;thusly: &quot;A number of Hindus keep fast on Navratri and on Tuesday of every week. It does not feel good to see meat being sold and served on these days. Most of the shopkeepers have supported the move and we consulted those who resisted.&quot;</p>

<p>Raj claimed most of the shops his supporters forced to shutdown were &quot;illegal&quot;, claiming they did not have the license to operate. Nowhere in the report was evidence of this presented. Raj also claimed that shops were sent prior notices, but provided no evidence of this to the Hindustan Times.</p>
