Yogi Adityanath Warns Against Buying Halal-Certified Products, Claims Funds Generated Misused For Terror, ‘Love Jihad’ And Conversion

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday (21 October) urged people to avoid buying halal-certified products, claiming the profits generated are used to fund “terrorism, forced conversion, and love jihad,” the Hindustan Times reported.

He said Uttar Pradesh has banned the sale of such products and that no one would dare sell them in the state.

Speaking at the ‘Vichar-Parivar Kutumb Sneh Milan’ and ‘Deepotsav Se Rashtrotsav’ programmes in Gorakhpur, marking the centenary of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), Adityanath said, “Whenever you buy something, make sure it doesn’t have the halal certification tag.”

He highlighted that products ranging from soaps and clothes to matchsticks now carry halal certification, claiming they generate Rs 25,000 crore despite lacking official recognition from the government.

“All this money is misused into terrorism, love jihad and conversion in India,” he said.

Adityanath also spoke on historical and ideological issues, emphasising the impact of “political Islam” on Sanatan Dharma.

“Our ancestors waged major struggles against political Islam, yet this aspect of history remains largely overlooked,” he said, citing heroes like Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Guru Gobind Singh, Maharana Pratap, and Maharana Sanga.

He added, “Our ancestors fought not only against the British and the French but also against political Islam. Heroes like Veer Shivaji and Maharana Pratap stand testimony to this. There is much talk of British and French colonialism, but rarely of political Islam, which undermined the faith.”

The Chief Minister also lauded the RSS for its century-long efforts and pivotal role in constructing the Ayodhya Ram Mandir.

“While members of the Samajwadi Party, the Congress, and the INDI bloc questioned the Ram Temple, RSS volunteers remained steadfast in their resolve that the temple would be built,” he said.
