New Delhi: BJP national general secretary CT Ravi has compared Halal meat to ‘economic jihad’. Ravi said that ‘halal’ is used like a jihad so that Muslims should not do business with others.
“When they think that Halal meat should be used, what is wrong in saying that it should not be used,” Ravi said.
Halal meat is dear to Muslims, but for Hindus, it is somebody’s leftover, the BJP leader said.
Halal has been designed in a planned way so that the products should be purchased only from Muslims and not others, he added.
“When Muslims refuse to buy meat from Hindus, why should you insist on Hindus to buy from them? What right people have to even ask this,” PTI quoted Ravi as saying.
When asked about the call to boycott Halal meat, the BJP leader said such trade practices are not one-way traffic but two-way.
“If Muslims agree to eat non-Halal meat, then Hindus will also use Halal meat, he added.
His statement comes after right-wing activists on social media urged Hindus to boycott Halal meat after Ugadi, which is the Hindu New Year festival.
