Kerala governor faces row on first day in office over reported ban on non-veg food at Lok Bhavan
A section of the media said that Mathur had directed that non vegetarian delicacies should not be prepared or served in the Lok Bhavan kitchen.
Kerala's Governor Om Prakash Mathur faced controversy on his first day in office over reports of a ban on non-vegetarian food at Lok Bhavan. The Congress and CPI(M) criticized the move, alleging it was driven by the Sangh Parivar's unconstitutional interests. Mathur reportedly instructed the Lok Bhavan kitchen to prepare only vegetarian meals, citing his personal dietary habits.
However, officials clarified that this decision was personal and did not affect other employees' eating habits. Critics argued that such restrictions on food choices violated Keralites' fundamental rights and traditional way of life.
