Ahead of Bakr Eid, Hindu Janajagruti Samiti calls for 'Halal free Chattisgarh'

Ahead of Bakri Eid, right-wing group Hindu Janajagruti Samiti (HJS) in Chhattisgarh recently launched a statewide campaign calling for a boycott of halal meat.

On June 20, HJS zonal convenor of Chhattisgarh and Maharashtra Sunil Ghanwat while interacting with media persons alleged that Halal-certified products



have ‘hijacked the Indian economy.’

In a video posted on his official Twitter account, he said, “We demand a halal-free Chhattisgarh. Halal is not limited to meat. It is a marketing strategy which has extended to a global level and gained ‘worldwide 2.1 trillion US dollars’ in the last nine years.”
