Uttar Pradesh Halal Ban

The Supreme Court on Thursday sought a response from the Uttar Pradesh government and others on a plea challenging the notification prohibiting manufacture, storage, sale and distribution of food products with halal certification within the state

The lawyer argued the issue was required to be examined by the top court and it has to be considered whether such a notification can be issued.

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Tuesday said food certification should be done only by governmental agencies, and not by non-governmental organisations.

The Uttar Pradesh government's move to ban products with a halal tag has sparked a row. A notification issued by the Yogi Adityanath government has prohibited the production, storage, distribution and sale of food produts with halal certification

The Uttar Pradesh government today banned products with halal tag.
