Outrage after man eats KFC chicken in vegetarian Iskcon restaurant

'UNDIGNIFIED ACT'

- YOSHINI PERUMAL

HINDU religious leaders have slammed a British man for eating KFC chicken at the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (Iskcon) vegetarian restaurant in London, and filming the incident, which went viral on social media.

In the video, the man entered Govinda’s Restaurant and asked staff at the counter if it was a vegan restaurant. They told him it was a vegetarian restaurant and they did not serve meat, onion and garlic.

The man then asked the woman if she was sure, and took out a barrel of KFC, which he placed on the counter. He ate a piece of chicken and offered it to the woman, who was serving at the counter.

With a look of horror, the woman said: “Oh my God, go outside, please.”

The staff called for security, who told the man: “It is a vegetarian shop. You cannot eat it here. Get out.”

The man then asked the woman serving, if she wanted some, and extended the chicken to her.

With the chicken hanging out of his mouth, he walked around the restaurant asking customers if they “want some chicken”.

A disgruntled customer told the man: “Excuse me, you are actually violating someone's religious rights and this is not fair.”
