A row involving the BCCI erupted on Tuesday after it emerged that only ‘halal’ meat has been recommended for the Indian cricketers during their stay in Kanpur for the Test series against New Zealand.


The catering and menu document also mentions categorically that no pork or beef should be part of any food in any form or variety.


BJP spokesperson and advocate Gaurav Goel demanded immediate withdrawal of the recommendation. “The players can eat whatever they want, but who has given BCCI the right to introduce ‘halal’ meat. This is illegal and we will not allow it,” Goel said in a video posted from his Twitter handle.


“This decision is not right. It should be withdrawn immediately.”
