Shunning the call for boycott of “halal” meat by Hindutva organisations, leaders of several progressive organisations gathered in front of meat stalls owned by Muslims in Shantinagar in Mysuru on Sunday and purchased mutton from them.
The demonstration planned by Karnataka Rajya Raitha Sangha (KRRS), Dalit Sangharsha Samithi and other organisations was attended by writer Devanur Mahadeva, socialist Pa Mallesh, KRRS leader Badagalapura Nagendra, Karnataka State Backward Classes Forum President K.S. Shivaram and others.
Most of the participants in the demonstration also purchased meat from the Muslim shopkeepers.
