What is the Truth?
What Arjun Sampath has spoken is a baseless WhatsApp and Facebook rumour that led to riots in Sri Lanka. We have published several articles related to this rumour.
1. Did Muslims lace biryani with contraceptives in their hotels in Sri Lanka?
In 2018, in Ambara, Sri Lanka, a conflict between Muslims and Sinhalese was developed based on the rumour that the biryani in their shops is laced with contraceptives. The hotel was demolished and was set on fire.
But Sri Lanka’s best medical team has confirmed that it was starch and no contraceptives were found in the Muslim hotel. Additionally, they said there is no scientific evidence to say that the ingredient will make one impotent.
2. Contraceptives in Muslim shop biryani? Doctor’s opinion.
We have published an article on the fake claim that Muslims are selling biryani laced with contraceptives in their shops to make Hindus impotent. This article has enough details with the doctor’s explanation.
3. Fake News Alert: A Muslim doctor contracepted 4000 Hindu women !
Rumour has it that a Muslim doctor in Sri Lanka was arrested for removing the uterus of 4000 Hindu women who came for treatment.
Conclusion
Arjun Sampath’s claim that biryani is laced with contraceptives in Muslim shops in Sri Lanka is fake. This is an old fake claim that biryani is laced with contraceptives to make Hindus and Sinhalese impotent.
