Railway employee trying to convince the passenger that tea is vegetarian anyway, so there is nothing to worry about. On this, the passenger clearly says that no one should play with his feelings and take this matter to the top, it is a matter of playing with his religious sentiments. Instead of Halal certified tea, give us Swastik certified tea.

what is halal certification
Halal certification was first introduced in 1974 for slaughtered meats. Till 1993 it was applied only on meat products. Then it was extended to other foods and cosmetics, medicines etc. In Arabic, halal means permissible and halal-certified refers to food prepared in compliance with Islamic law.
Halal meat refers to the meat of an animal that has been killed by severing the jugular vein. He was not killed in one blow. In 2022, a petition was filed in the Supreme Court demanding a complete ban on Halal certification and it was said that due to 15% of the population, the fundamental rights of 85% of the citizens are being violated.
