The Himachal BJP has called for an apology from Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu for allegedly promoting the consumption of 'Jungli Murga' (Grey Junglefowl), an endangered species, during a dinner in Shimla.
Sukhu, in response, emphasized that eating non-vegetarian food is part of village life and accused the opposition of creating unnecessary controversy.
The matter escalated after a video went viral showing Sukhu mentioning 'Jungli Murga' during a meal. The BJP labeled this action illegal under wildlife protection laws, urging accountability.
