BENGALURU : It’s halal versus jhatka cut in Karnataka with Hindu activists launching a campaign seeking a boycott of halal meat during the Navratri celebrations in the city.
Meat is offered to ancestors of the family during the festivities and people feast on non-vegetarian food in south Karnataka. Hindu activists have started a campaign that during the festivities, meat should only be bought from Hindu shops.
Mune Gowda, a Hindu activist and Hindavi Mart owner explained that a meeting of Hindu leaders would be held on Monday in this regard. “Jatka cut (Hindu way of killing animals for meat) campaign has to be continued,” he said.
Last time, when a call was given to use only Jhatka cut and ban Halal cut meat, people responded well and it was a great success. Hindus have awakened. From Monday, door to door campaigns would be taken up and handbills would be distributed, he explained.
