Right Wing Hindu organisations in Karnataka on Tuesday launched a campaign a🍃gainst Halal products ahead of the prominent Hindu festival of Deepavali, by staging demonstr𝐆ation outside multinational food chain outlets.
The activists of these fringe outfits held demonstrations at KFC and McDonald🌸 demanding that they should not serve Halal certified meat to non-Muslims.
According to Hindu Janajagruthi Samithi spokesperson Mohan Gowda, the drive has begun🥃 in most of the d🎀istricts of Karnataka, Goa and Maharashtra and Sriram Sena has also joined it.
Talking to reporters here, Gowda said the campaign was launched in the city in front of McDonald and the KFCℱ store.
“McDonald and KFC are serving only Halal certified meat. Compelling Hin🔜dus to eat Halal meat is against the Hindu faith. We have submitted a memorandum to the KFC and the McDonald management not to serve Halal products to Hindus,” he said.
The mem🦹orandum comprises four demands, which include Hindus should not be served Halal product, menu should contain Halal and non-Halal items listed separately. These demands♏ should be fulfilled in a week.
Gowda warned the companies of protests at all stores across Karnataka and boycott of their ꧅products nationw🌳ide if their demands were not met.
