Beef will be eaten in Kerala, says newly appointed Minister
Bureaucrat-turned-politician Alphons Kannanthanam, who was appointed as the Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Tourism during the Cabinet reshuffle, has asserted that beef will continue to be consumed in Kerala. "We don't dictate food habits in any place. It is for the people to decide", he said. He also added that the Christian community's concerns are because of "mere propaganda".
