Karnataka: Right-wing group puts up posters asking Hindu vendors to boycott halal meat during Ugadi

India Today  

After Hijab row, another controversy erupted in Karnataka, workers of a right-wing group have asked Hindu vendors to not buy halal meat. Posters put by the Bajrang Dal at Nelamangala advised Hindu vendors to boycott shops which have halal sign in front of them. This comes close on the heels of a ban on Muslim vendors around temples during the Hindu religious fairs in parts of Karnataka. Right-wing groups are of the opinion that since Muslim organisations called for a bandh and closed their businesses after the hijab row verdict, temples shouldn't allow them to do business in their annual fairs.
