Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath claimed that Rs 25,000 crore was raised in the country using Halal certification products without the permission of the government.
Speaking at the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh’s (RSS) centenary event in Gorakhpur, he warned the crowd against using such products, saying, “When you buy something, make sure to check if it has the Halal certification. We have banned it in Uttar Pradesh. You will be surprised, soap, clothes, and matchsticks are also certified as Halal.”
“And where is the money coming from? It is coming from you. All this money is misused for terrorism, ‘love jihad’, and religious conversion. That is why Uttar Pradesh has started a big campaign against it,” he said.
