Amid the row over Halal meat in Karnataka, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) General Secretary CT Ravi on Wednesday said that the halal meat business is a kind of "economic jihad".
CT Ravi said halal meat offered to “their God” is dear to them (Muslims) but for Hindus, it is somebody’s leftover. Halal has been designed in a planned way so that the products are purchased only from Muslims and not others, he added.
With some right wing groups now giving a call to boycott 'Halal' meat, BJP national general secretary CT Ravi likened Halal food with 'economic jehad'.
