PTI, Mar 31, 2022, 3:33 PM IST
Amid the controversy over Halal meat, Education minister BC Nagesh on Thursday said that people are free to decide on whether or not they wish to purchase meat from these shops.
Citing that Halal is part of Islamic law, Nagesh said that the government will not interfere in this matter. People have the right to decide for themselves. Those who do not have a problem with eating Halal cut meat can purchase it while those who wish to refrain can procure it from any other shops.
The Halal issue cropped up after right-wing activists urged communities that offer meat post-Ugadi celebrations to boycott Halal meat for the offering.
