Hold onto your plates, india<\/a> \u2013 kerala<\/a> just dropped a stink bomb that\u2019s making the whole country gag. Amid the raging row over the sequel to\u00a0The kerala<\/a> Story, a scene showing a Hindu girl<\/a> forcibly fed beef by a Muslim family has already set social media<\/a> on fire. Then comes the kicker: Kerala\u2019s own minister<\/a> V Sivankutty struts onto facebook<\/a> and sneers, \u201cWhile you eat cow<\/a> dung, those of us in kerala<\/a> will eat beef, mutton and chicken.\u201d Classy. Real classy.Chief minister<\/a> Pinarayi Vijayan wasted no time piling on, blasting the film as \u201ctoxic\u201d propaganda designed to spread hatred and paint kerala<\/a> as a terror hub. He demanded everyone reject any attempt to tarnish the state\u2019s \u201csecular harmony\u201d and \u201csustainable development\u201d model. Nice words. Shame the minister\u2019s dung-beef flex just torched them.Social media<\/a> erupted. women<\/a> flooded timelines with videos of themselves happily devouring beef and parotta, laughing off the scene as ridiculous. Actor prakash raj<\/a> posted mouth-watering pics of pork, beef, and fish<\/a> living happily alongside vegetarian sadya: \u201cThe real #KeralaStory is harmony.\u201d Filmmaker anurag kashyap<\/a> called the movie<\/a> straight-up propaganda: \u201cWho forces beef like that? Nobody even serves khichdi that way.\u201dLeft outfits DYFI and SFI went full throttle \u2013 organising beef festivals with parotta, declaring the film promotes communal hatred and misrepresents God\u2019s Own Country. CPM mp<\/a> John Brittas said the movie<\/a> belongs in a \u201cseptic tank,\u201d not theatres, while congress<\/a> leader KC Venugopal accused it of inventing lies to insult and divide Kerala. Both slammed the bjp<\/a> for awarding the first part and now encouraging more \u201cfalse stories.\u201dBJP hit back hard, with state chief rajeev <\/a>Chandrasekhar accusing Vijayan of disgusting double standards. \u201cWhere was Article 19 and freedom of expression when it was \u2018love jihad\u2019?\u201d he asked. Selective outrage much?So here we are: one side screaming propaganda, the other mocking \u201cdung eaters,\u201d while ordinary folks watch<\/a> their food, faith, and festivals weaponised for votes. Kerala\u2019s famous harmony? Right now it tastes a lot like division \u2013 and it\u2019s getting harder to swallow by the minute.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hold onto your plates, india \u2013 kerala just dropped a stink bomb that\u2019s making the whole country gag.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":299088,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[156,409,111,139,69],"class_list":["post-299087","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-movies","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/299087","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=299087"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/299087\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/299088"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=299087"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=299087"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=299087"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
