How Halal Certification Allegedly Fuels Terrorism and Religious Conversions
In a significant political and administrative move, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has drawn a direct link between the Halal certification ecosystem in India and what he describes as a parallel, unregulated economy funding terrorism, “love jihad,” and religious conversions. His remarks, delivered on October 21st during a Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) centenary event, have reignited national debate over the legitimacy, necessity, and implications of Halal certification beyond dietary preferences. The Chief Minister’s speech revolved around a bold claim: that thousands of crores collected through unofficial Halal certification mechanisms were being funneled into unlawful activities. “You’ll be shocked to know that soaps, clothes, lamps and even matchboxes have Halal certificates. This is a conspiracy,” CM Yogi stated, pointing out the absurdity of certifying non-consumable items under religious standards.
