Malayalam actress Surabhi Lakshmi was recently trolled for having beef on a television show. Chief Minister of Kerala Pinarayi Vijayan, however, came to her defence.
The Onam sadhya she had, the traditional food served during the festival celebrated last week, also had chicken in it. Clarifying about the sadhya, Pinarayi wrote on Facebook:
“The Onam feast is exclusively vegetarian in the south, but in the northern parts of the state, it is incomplete without meat delicacies. The diversity in food has strengthened with the democratisation of our society. There is no infringement in the state with the eating habits of the people. Be it vegetarian, beef or fish, no restrictions exists for natives or foreigners in matters of food.”
