You can't make this up: "To my understanding, consumption of fast food contributes to such incidents. Chowmein leads to hormonal imbalance evoking an urge to indulge in such acts," said Jitender Chhatar, a resident of Jind's Chhatar village and thua khap panchayat leader.
"You also know the impact of chowmein, which is a spicy food, on our body. Hence, our elders also advised to consume light and nutritious food," Chhatar added." A fellow Pol added this: "Om Prakash Chautala, leader of Opposition, too backed the khaps' demand while Congress leaders including Haryana congress chief Phool Chand Mullana and education minister Geeta Bhukkal had stated that growing rape cases were a conspiracy against the state government." More from another bright light: "Dharamvir Goyat, another Congress leader, had sparked off a controversy by saying that 90% of the rape cases were consensual."
