Over six organisations of Indians, including those of Sikhs and Gujaratis, in Australia have sent a letter of protest against Air India addressed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Union minister of civil aviation Ashok Gajapathi Raju, alleging that the national carrier was offering only 'halal' meat to its passengers.
Citing the menu of the national carrier, they have said that while the "moslem meal" mentioned that all non-vegetarian items were "halal" and did not contain pork. For the Hindu meal (non-veg), it mentioned that the food did not contain any pork or beef products, but it did not confirm that it was "halal" or not.
"How clever. It doesn't confirm whether the non-veg Hindu meal has 'non-halal' meat. This confirms our doubt that it does contain 'halal' meat. The fact has been substantiated by persons who have travelled by Air India, claiming that even the air hostesses confirmed to them privately that 'halal' meat was being served in the Hindu non-veg meal", the protest letter reads.
