No Beef or Pork for Indian Cricket Players - BCCI restricts Food..!
The Board of Control for cricket in india (BCCI) has been embroiled in a controversy when a paper said that only 'halal' meat should be consumed by indian cricketers while in kanpur for the series-opening Test against New Zealand. The catering and menu paper, which PTI has obtained, also states unequivocally that neither pork or beef shall be used in any form or variation of cuisine.
Gaurav Goel, a bjp spokesperson and lawyer, urged that the advice be withdrawn immediately. "The players are free to eat anything they choose, but who gave the bcci the authority to add halal meat? This is against the law, and we will not tolerate it "In a video posted to his social media account, Goel remarked. "This choice is incorrect. It should be taken off the market right away "Added he.
When reached by the PTI, none of the bcci officials were willing to comment on the paper, which is thought to have been written by the support personnel and medical team with the players' dietary concerns in mind. Generally speaking, Hindus and Sikhs favor 'jhatka' meat, whilst Muslims prefer 'halal' meat. In halal slaughter, animals are murdered by cutting the jugular vein and leaving the body until the blood drains entirely. The animal is slaughtered instantly with the jhatka procedure.
The absence of beef and pig goods, according to a former india batsman, is not surprising, despite the fact that it has never been documented before. "On match days, I have not seen any beef or pork foods offered in the dressing room throughout my time with the squad. Never in india, at least. So, aside from putting pen to paper, I don't believe anything fresh has been accomplished "On the asked to remain anonymous, the cricketer said PTI.
