MMU Raises Objection Over Blinkit’s Pork Products in KashmirSrinagar- Mutahida Majlis-e-Ulema (MMU), an amalgam of several religious bodies in Jammu and Kashmir, on Thursday expressed outrage over the alleged sale of pork products on a quick-commerce platform in the valley and asked the company to remove them immediately.
In a statement, the MMU, headed by Kashmir’s chief preacher Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, said screenshots shared by people showed pork products being listed for sale on the online delivery platform in Kashmir.
ADVERTISEMENTThe MMU said it was well known that the sale or consumption of pork is prohibited in Islam and that Muslims are highly sensitive to the issue.
ADVERTISEMENTThe body also asked the company to remove the products and ensure that they are neither stocked, advertised nor sold in Kashmir.
“Businesses operating in the region have to respect religious and cultural sensitivities of the region and act responsibly,” the MMU added.
