Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) spokesperson Priyank Kharge has challenged right-wing activists to prove their patriotism by stopping BJP supporters who are into the halal meat business.
“BJP MLA C.T. Ravi appears to have taken heed of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s call for Atmanirbhar Bharat by launching an offensive against halal meat. Many right-wing organisations and activists have joined him in his so-called fight against halal meat. I would give him a list of top business houses in India that are into the halal meat business and are exporting halal food products to many countries, especially Muslim countries in the Gulf. I challenge him to stop these companies from doing halal meat business to prove his patriotism and commitment to Prime Minister’s call for Atmanirbhar Bharat,” Mr. Priyank said.
Addressing a media conference at the local Congress party office in Kalaburagi on April 6, the former Congress minister showed the halal certificates that major food exporting companies, including Reliance Industries Limited, Ramdev Food Products Private Limited, Adani Wilmar Limited, OM Industries, ITC Limited, Dabur India Limited, Krishna Industries Limited, Tata Consumer Products Limited and AmulFed Dairy, obtained from Jamiat Ulama Halal Foundation (JUHF). He asked Mr. Ravi and other right-wing activists to prove their patriotism by stopping these companies from doing business in halal food products.
