Shiv Sena activists demand closure of McDonald's outlets

Taking the controversy of use of beef extract in the famous French fries of McDonald's further, Shiv Sena activists on Saturday demanded closure of international fast-food chain outlets in the country.

Describing the alleged use of beef extract as "attack on the religious sentiments of Indians," Delhi Shiv Sena leader Jai Bhagwan Goyal said: "We don't believe McDonald's clarification of not using beef extract in the French fries in India."

The activists, who staged a demonstration in front of the head-office of McDonald's in South Delhi, also submitted a memorandum addressed to Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee demanding immediate closure of all the outlets of McDonald's in the country.

"In the country where 800 million of population worship cow, one cannot go on with this kind of a controversial product," Goyal said.
