Mere three days after the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) suggested that Amul produce vegan milk and food and to capitalize India's readiness to choose vegan options, Amul Vice Chairman Valamaji Humbal has urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to ban the NGO.
In a press release on Tuesday Humbal said "Dairy Sector is an important contributor to the GDP of India but the GDP can be affected adversely by misinformation spread by opportunistic elements like this NGO. Organisations like this are part of the conspiracy to render unemployed the milk producers of India."
"To ensure that such organisations stop terror activities in India, milk producers of Gujarat urge Prime Minister Narendra Modi to initiate necessary action to impose a ban on organisations which are engaged in condemnable activity of tarnishing the image of dairy industry through misinformation campaign and then harm them by encouraging plants of multination companies producing synthetic milk" added Humbal.
Reacting to this release by Humbal, PETA India's CEO Dr Manilal Valliyate said "Amul has shown itself to be a bully, unable to appreciate public's concern for animals and a business that apparently cannot change despite changing consumer trends. But no amount of bullying is going to change the fact that vegan eating is taking the world by storm."
