Sindhudurg : The ‘Halal Certification’ is a global conspiracy to create a parallel economy in the country by interfering in trade and the Indian economy. Manoj Khadye (HJS Outreach coordinator for Gujarat, Western Maharashtra and Konkan Division) is conducting awareness programs at various places in Sindhudurg district on ‘Dangers of Halal Certification System to Indian Economy, and the Role of Hindus’. This information has prompted Hindus working at various levels like traders, businessmen, office bearers of political parties, pro-Hindus etc. in the district to become alert. As a result they are actively working for the ouster of the ‘Halal Certification’ system. This has shown that if Hindus are made aware of their plight in a proper manner, then they too set aside their status, party affiliations, organizational differences etc. and come forth to work for the protection of Hindu Dharma and Rashtra.
Awareness programs for businessmen were held at Vengurla, Malvan and Kudal. In Malvan, Devgad, Kudal and other places, traders, businessmen and various organizations submitted petitions to the government against the ‘Halal Certification’ system. A press conference was held at Kankavali. Shri. Manoj Khadye provided information on the ‘halal system’ by answering questions like What is a ‘halal certificate’? What is its impact on the Indian economy? How halal economy is entrenched not only in vegetarian food, but cosmetics, medicines, hospitals, housing complexes etc.
