Khattar government in Haryana has taken a decision that could give way to a larger controversy, as it was announced on Tuesday that samples of biryani will be collected from restaurants at Muslim dominated area Mewat, to check for beef.

The decision was taken on Tuesday by president of Haryana Goseva Ayog Bhaniram Mangla. IPS and in charge of cow protection task force Bharti Arora was also present during this meeting.

Mangle instructed the police to start collecting biryani samples from villages, and send them for determining which meat is being used in the preparations.

Former transport minister Aftab Ahmed said that this a deliberate move by the state government to defame the Muslim community.

The state is following the RSS ideology, which the Congress objects to, the Congress leader said, adding that it is very surprising the government wants to check biryani.
