A blogger had made that video just for fun. It is common sense that nobody would consume a paratha prepared in diesel nor is it cooked like that. I didn’t know that the video was going viral, I came to know only yesterday. The blogger in question has deleted it and apologised to the people…We use only edible oil. We provide hygienic food to people here. We also supply langar from here…We don’t play with people’s lives…” (Also Read: Chandigarh dhaba under fire after video of ‘diesel’ paratha goes viral, people call for food regulatory authority) Unlock exclusive access to the latest news on India’s general elections, only on the HT App. Download Now!
