Bharatiya Janata Party national general secretary CT Ravi on Tuesday said halal meat is like an “economic jihad” by the Muslim community. “Halal is an economic jihad. This practice was started so that Muslims do not trade with anyone else. It was imposed on them. Please tell that CT Ravi is also a BJP MLA from Chikmagalur seat.
“The way they recognize halal meat, in the same way if any Hindu does not want to use it, that is also fine,” he said. Let us tell you that the Hindu Janajagruti Samiti had issued a religious order saying that Hindus should not buy Halal meat because Muslims first offer it to ‘Allah’. Therefore, if a Hindu uses it in worship, then it will be considered as halal meat.
Let us tell you that after the Hijab controversy that started from Karnataka, the demand for ban on Halal meat also started fast. Now the participation of Muslims in the fair of Hindus was also banned. Hitting out at the Bharatiya Janata Party, former Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy said the responsibility of the government is towards 6.5 crore people of the state and not just one community.
Kumaraswamy said that elections are going to be held in 2023 that is why the BJP is supporting such demands made by Hindu organizations. He alleged that Bommai is running the government at the behest of Hindu organizations so that his chair remains intact. He is sowing seeds of hatred among the youth.
Taking a dig at Congress also, Kumaraswamy said, Congress is responsible for this situation. The people of the state were troubled due to the atrocities of the Congress. Let us tell you that people buy meat in large quantities during Ugadi (Kannada New Year) in Karnataka. In this festival people offer meat and then eat it.
