Members of Sakal Hindu Samaj and Halal Niyantran Manch staged a protest demanding a ban on halal products and halal certification. A speaker claimed that halal certification is promoted by Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind and alleged that the organisation uses money generated from the sale of halal products to fund terrorist activities and provide legal defence in “love jihad” cases. The speaker also called for a mass boycott of halal-certified products.
