According to Hindu Janajagruthi Samithi spokesperson Mohan Gowda, the drive has begun in most of the districts of Karnataka, Goa and Maharashtra. “McDonald and KFC are serving only Halal-certified meat... We have submitted a memorandum to the managements of KFC and McDonald’s not to serve Halal products to Hindus,” he said.

They have demanded a separate list of Halal and non-Halal items at KFC and McDonald’s within a week. Gowda warned the companies of protests at all stores across Karnataka and boycott of their products nationwide if their demands were not met.
