Seers should promote religion, let them do it: Former CM HDK

Bengaluru, March 30, 2022 (www.justkannada.in): As the debate over the ban on Halal meat is taking heat, former Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy has expressed his view that seers should promote religion and should stop suggesting people stop going to Muslim shops and stop eating Halal meat.
Speaking in Ramanagara today, he said, “The temple priest had visited our house too. I asked them to involve in the promotion of religion and spirituality. Hindu religion preaches all religions are equal and all people should live happily. The seers must spread love and spirituality, let them do it. They should not ask the people not to go to Muslim shops or stop them from purchasing and eating Halal meat,” he said.
“The Halal meat issue has not come up for discussion in the assembly. If it comes we can discuss it. I am just giving my suggestion because such issues will lead to disharmony in society. I am just sharing my views to set right the problems,” he added.
