In Hindu temples, worshippers are even asked to take off their leather belts and purses, even food habits restrict people from eating meat, fish and eggs for three days before entering. Notably, Cows are generally considered sacred by Hindus.

The outrage was seen moments after the Bank of England tweet on Monday afternoon which notified that beef was used in the production of £5 notes.

Since then there has been widespread outrage from vegans, vegetarians, Hindus and Jains in Britain.

A petition calling for the Bank of England to stop using animal products in the £5 notes has now been signed by more than 100,000 people.
