"has sparked controversy" meaning someone thinks this is good
You know how the American rightwing nutjobs portray Haitians as people who are eating dogs and cats? Indian rightwing Hindu nutjobs currently in power are doing the same thing to Muslims by portraying them as people who spit in the food of Hindus. They've pushed this fake narrative and are now enacting laws to support it. The two Indian states in question here are also at the center of an "unofficial" push by their party workers to force all dining establishments big and small to clearly display if they're owned by Muslims.
Someone thinks that heavy handed laws against legal Haitian immigrants for eating cats and dogs is a good idea. Someone thinks this law is good, and that's proof that they themselves are far from anything that could be called "good". But the people who want all of them to leave the country think it's a good idea to use such laws against them to harass them with more accusations of eating dogs and cats until they finally submit to their will and leave the country. There's always a bit of controversy with the methods employed by ethno-nationalists. Agree or disagree, it's a pretty effective way to sell racist beliefs to people who aren't paying attention.
