Bengaluru: The day after Ugadi festival is being celebrated as “Hosathodaku” day, the Halal boycott campaign has come to the fore again.

Some pro-Hindu activists have started a campaign to make a mockery of Halal by buying meat from Hindu Meat Mart, and this is being criticized by the public.

A person named Munegowda first started Hindavi Meat Mart in the state. Munegowda had started a campaign against halal cut meat.

Under the Hindavi brand, four stores were opened in Bangalore and its outskirts. 18 stores have opened across the city this year. Munegowda said that shops have been opened in Kammanahalli, Ittamadu, Dasarahalli, Sanjay Nagar, Geddalahalli, Yelahanka, Indiranagar, Tannery Road, Horamavu, Annapurneshwari Nagar and others.

Some are criticizing such a campaign by pro-Hindu activists.

Maitreyi Krishnan, a member of NGO Bahutva Karnataka, said that such efforts by the Sangh Parivar to create communalism and divide the people cannot be tolerated.

Right now we have really oppressed workers rights, unemployment issues before us. Instead of solving these problems, efforts are being made to divide people on the basis of religion, which shows their anti-people attitude, he said.

Our constitution speaks of the importance of fraternity. We will do the work to uphold it
