Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray today said the controversy over ban on meat sale during Jain festival 'Paryushan' has ended as far as his party is concerned, but sought to know why it erupted this year.

"What was the special thing that happened this year that there was a controversy," Uddhav told reporters, after meeting a delegation of Jain community leaders at his residence 'Matoshree' in suburban Bandra.
