BBS threatens to resume anti-Halal campaign
View(s):The Bodu Bala Sena (BBS) is to revive its campaign against the ‘Halal certification’ process on the basis the Government has failed to keep to its promises on this issue.
“We stopped our campaign against the Halal certification process after the Government assured it would look into the issue and appointed a Parliamentary committee. Our members also testified before the committee, but no action has been taken,” BBS Secretary Ven Galaboadaththe Gnanasara said.
He said the BBS hoped to meet Defence Secretary Gotabaya Rajapaksa soon and thereafter would take a decision on the relaunch of the campaign against the Halal certification process.
“We intend to start a fast-unto-death campaign in Kandy at the end of this month. It was in Kandy that we stopped the campaign after the assurances from the Government,” he said.
