Union Minister Giriraj Singh has urged Chief Minister Nitish Kumar to consider imposing restrictions on halal food products in Bihar, following a similar move in India’s Uttar Pradesh.

Singh argues that the halal industry is damaging to the nation’s interests, characterizing it as a form of betrayal.

Expressing his stance, Singh firmly stated, “We do not endorse the concept of halal certification.” This appeal has sparked worry and apprehension among the Muslim community in India.

This call for restrictions on halal certification comes on the heels of the Yogi govt’s decision in UP to impose limitations on the issuance of halal certificates earlier this month.

The move has stirred a debate, with some political figures asserting that such restrictions are misplaced.

Muhammad Salim, a member of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB), countered the narrative by stating, “Restrictions on halal certificates is wrong.” He emphasised the need for inclusivity and understanding of diverse dietary practices.—INP
