Mumbai: Taking a dig over meat sale ban during Jain community's fasting period in five BJP-ruled states, the Shiv Sena today said the decision not to fire the first bullet on Pakistan at a time of ceasefire violations is the epitome of "non-violence" practised by its ally.

Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh had last week assured a visiting delegation from Pakistan that India will not fire the first bullet as it wants cordial relations with all its neighbours.
