Halal vs Jhatka row surfaces again during festive season in Karnataka


Bengaluru, Mar 21 (IANS): The Halal versus Jhatka row surfaced again in Karnataka with Hindu activists giving a call to the community members not to consume meat prepared through Halal cut by Muslims but to instead eat meat prepared through Jhatka cut by Hindus.

The call has been given on the occasion of the 'Ugadi' and ‘Hosa Toduku' festivals. Meat is eaten during the celebration of the festivals across Karnataka. While celebrating ‘Hosa Toduku' entire villages, cities and towns cook non-vegetarian food and invite friends and relatives to feast on it. The call for a ban on Halal meat is perceived to affect thousands of Muslim traders.

Karnataka Hindu Janjagruthi Vedike members have submitted a memorandum to the Bengaluru district magistrate demanding not to give Halal certificate to meat shops. They also demanded a ban on Halal meat and Jhatka meat for Hindus during the Ugadi festival.

Ugadi will be celebrated on Wednesday and Hosa Todaku the next day. Hindu activists have carried out an awareness march and distributed handbills in Bengaluru.

Puneeth Kerehalli, a Hindu activist, claimed that Muslim traders are dominating through Halal cut meat shops. To prevent this, an awareness campaign is being carried out, he added.

In Halal cut meat, the animal's throat is slit and blood is drained out before cutting the meat, while in Jhatka cut, the animal's neck is cut fully once and meat is prepared with draining blood.

    Mohammed ansar, UDDYAVARA, I fully agree with your sensible comment and there is no doubt about it. But some people with no or low I.Q. will find it hard to digest it.

    It is only an awareness campaign. There was no force on muslims to eat non halaal meat. so where is the problem?. If Hindu meat vendors & butchers become loosers in meat business such awareness may become necessary. I cannot understand where is the problem here. even after getting awareness if a Hindu chooses halaal nobeody can stop him.

    Mark shops as Halal Certified and Jatka certified. Those who want Halal can eat Halal, and those who want meat by Jatka, let them eat Jatka.

    Exactly. That is what we are saying. Do not force halal on us. Even Christians kill pigs in one chop and end the misery of the animal immediately. One should be really a sadist to see an animal suffer and die intentionally!!1

    if someone is forcing you eat halal meat, you should file a police complain against him immediately. and do keep some proof as well so that the case will be strong.

    Halal or jhatka .. in both cases the animal or bird is being killed for meat. Be vegetarian and stop the controversy.

    even plants have life. even they communicate with each other. if you think killing animal for food is wrong, then killing planation is also wrong. eat meat save plant.
