Bhopal, Sep 4: A section of Muslims and Hindus in Bhopal have come together to protest against global fast food chain KFC accusing it of hurting their religious sentiments.kfc

While Muslims accused the multinational giant of serving Jhatka' chicken or meat in the name of halal chicken', Hindus have joined the protests to save cows, considered sacred animal by the community.
However, no scientific tests of the KFC food items were done by any of the groups.

KFC spokesperson denied the charges vehemently, saying, “KFC holds the highest respect for the law of the land and complies with all government rules and regulations. These accusations are baseless and seem to be driven with malicious intent to harm our brand.”

“We serve chicken sourced from reputed Indian suppliers like Venky's and Godrej. We are always willing to provide consumers any clarifications they may require on the food served in our restaurants. We will be approaching the authorities to investigate this false propaganda and take appropriate action against those spreading misinformation,” the spokesperson said.

In Islam, meat obtained by severing the head of an animal instantly i.e. jhatka is considered diseased and not fit for eating. They have halal chicken or meat which is obtained by making a deep cut on the neck of a bird or animal from which blood is drained out completely.

On Friday, a joint group of protesters assembled at Iqbal Maidan and launched a signature campaign demanding a KFC-free India', with Shahar Qazi Syed Mushtaq Ali Nadvi and superintendent, Masajid Committee, Yasir Arafat appealing to people to take part in the campaign.

Anam Ibrahim who is leading the campaign claimed they had signatures of 50,112 persons and warned that if action was not taken against KFC, they would protest at the shopping mall in MP Nagar which has a KFC outlet next Friday.

Ibrahim and others had lodged a complaint at MP Nagar police station against the KFC outlet on August 6. However, KFC employees lodged a counter complaint against Ibrahim and others for their creating ruckus at the outlet.

In his complaint, Ibrahim said during Ramzan, when he sought a halal certificate from the KFC outlet, the staff showed him a certificate issued by a mufti in Mumbai Anwar Khan to a company named Venky's, for only 1,000 halal chicken whereas, KFC outlets in the country sold 2,000 to 2,500 chickens per day on an average. It did not have any mention of KFC on it.

Hence, the company did not have any certificate for halal chicken and was cheating customers who might be eating the meat of any animal in the name of chicken, which the company bought from slaughter houses in various states, he said.

Talking to HT, Arun Chawariya of Balmiki Samaj, who joined the signature campaign, said his protest was to save cows.
“We will continue our campaign till KFC closes its chain in the country,” he said.

Nadvi told HT that KFC must declare if it was selling halal or jhatka meat, where it procured the meat, what meat it was, and also if it had any certificate in this regard.

“If they are transparent, we don't have any problem. Then the option will lie with the consumers if they wish to have the kind of meat offered by KFC with a declaration,” he said.

SP Anshuman Singh said police were looking into the complaints from both sides.

He said as far as Ibrahim's complaint is concerned he had also written to the Bhopal collector to see if it was a case of adulteration and violated provisions of Food Safety and Standard Act.

Dear Chedddis,
I have a few examples of halal, muslims have loats of reason for halal, circumcision & etc. etc.
Suresh,Rahul,Yogesh...first thing is, Why rituals in hindu marriage, mangalasutra, saptapadi, kanyadana. even without rituals also can be done, if you guys are bachelors just remember straight away go to register office and do the required procedures that is more than enough instead of rituals.... animal&bird slaughter in Islam to drain the bloods from veins (coz drinking blood is not permissible in islam ) animals and birds who died in wild cannot be eaten...

Suresh santhosh and yogesh. Here is the answer for ur question bro

I - Halal Method

1. The first three seconds from the time of Islamic slaughter as recorded on the EEG did not show any change from the graph before slaughter, thus indicating that the animal did not feel any pain during or immediately after the incision.

2. For the following 3 seconds, the EEG recorded a condition of deep sleep - unconsciousness. This is due to a large quantity of blood gushing out from the body.

3. After the above mentioned 6 seconds, the EEG recorded zero level, showing no feeling of pain at all.

4. As the brain message (EEG) dropped to zero level, the heart was still pounding and the body convulsing vigorously (a reflex action of the spinal cord) driving maximum blood from the body: resulting in hygienic meat for the consumer.

Mr yogesh and suresh

Ur talking as if u haven't killed a single mosquito. Why god has given both sharp and flat teeth. If he wanted to eat only veg. He would have given flat teeth only. Even plant feel pain.

Coming to halaal. U will be shocked to hear that in proper halal method. Animals will feel zero pain.
When u accidently cut ur finger with blade or knife. U will feel pain after few seconds.
When u slaughter any animal during the halal method. While cutting. the brain connection gets disconnected. Only the body shakes and vibrates. They dont feel pain at all. And science have already proven it.
ALLAH is master he knows everything.

Suresh, don't speak rubbish. Before you say something try to know the scientific reason behind it. Even now science says to follow islamic way of cutting the chicken. In this case am completely against you.

KFC IS SLOW POISON. MORE DANGEROUS THAN SMOKING CIGARETTES.

MOST OF INDIANS GET PILES. DUE TO EATING KFC.

IN SWITZERLAND FRANCE AND MANY OF THE EUROPEAN COUNTRIES BANNED KFC. BECAUSE THEY USE CHEAP CHICKEN.

Shivamogga, Feb 4: Students of a government primary school which is built especially for the children of manual scavengers, have been facing tough times during classes as the filthy drainage passing through the school premises excrete human excreta and sludge.

The drainage passes through GSPL Scavenger's Colony School in Shivamogga city, located behind the state road transport corporation's bus stand (KSRTC).

According to the locals here, students studying in this school often fall sick due to the waste flowing from the drainage.

Penchelayya, the father of a child who studies in the same school said, "Human excreta floats in the drainage as it is connected to two toilets. The school stinks and students often fall sick due to the drainage."

The students studying here are unable to bear the foul smell emanating from the drainage which flows at the school's premises.

He added that waste from private bus stands is dumped in this drainage which ultimately flows here creating an extremely unhygienic environment for the people living here and students studying in this school.

He further claimed that the government is not ready to listen to their grievances.

Dear Sir,   

 

 

Keep aside all these type of extra expenditure like spending for statues, monuments, pilgrim amnesties etc.

 

During this period of virus pandamic, please use all these amount for medicines, medical facilities, food and development of the state.  We are facing shortage of medical facilites and the people are dying on the road by not getting a bed in the hospital.  Please use these amounts for the same.  During this Pandemic not even hindu brothers also accept this offer.  Leave all vote politics and concentrate to develop the state.
