Halal certification promotes economic boycott.. and Halaal certification is rightly banned in Uttar pradesh..
The new Yogi order to prominently display names of owners including changing religion neutral shop names to include names of Muslim owners also promotes economic boycott of Muslims, and that is the intention.. In some cases, UP Police ask for the names of the cooks.. What next then, if a Muslim or OBC is a cook, brahmins won't eat there ?
There is an element of trust when someone eats out.. You assume that the food is what it is advertised to be.. Encouraging suspicion is a slippery slope.. If someone is that particular, there is no need to eat out..
Every company in India is mandated by law to list the owners.
The board members of the company are listed, the management of the company is known to the public etc etc.
Customer has every right to have full information of what he is purchasing and there is a certain level trust that needs to exist between a customer and the company he is buying the product from.
Coming to case of eateries, the trust is broken by the hotels managed by muslims.
First, they falsely name their eateries to give impression that it is owned and managed by hindus & the food prepared there is something Hindus can eat freely - as example, it is not halal (which basically is a prayer to Allah). What this means is that a hindu customer, entering a hotel with a hindu name implicitly believes that the food, especially veg food, especially religious veg customers is a non-halal one.
Second, there are hundreds of videos of muslim cooks across India spitting and even peeing in food.
The trust has been completely broken by the muslim, first due to false advertising of their eatery and second their spitting and even worse.
Asking Hindus to not be suspicious is unfair and as a customer, I have every right to be informed of below.
1) is the food halal.
2) is it hygienic or not.
It is up to muslim side to stop falsely advertising their eateries and then build trust with hindus that they are not spitting or peeing in the food.
If a hindu has no problem eating halal veg food, in a muslim hotel. more power to him.
if a hindu does not want to eat halal food in a muslim hotel, there has to be a way that the hindu customer needs to be informed that it is halal food.
