MLA Yatnal Seeks Nationwide Ban on Halal Certification

A politician named Yatnal wants the government to stop all groups that give food a special 'Halal' label.

He believes only the government's food safety agency should do this.

He worries these agencies are misusing money and operating outside the law.

Yatnal says these certifications are based on religious rules, which do not have legal status.

He mentioned Uttar Pradesh already banned halal products and wants all of India to follow.

He says the process is illegal, with only the official food agency allowed to certify any product.
