Ernakulam, Kerala: Canara Bank employees in Ernakulam, Kerala, protested against Ban on Beef.
Employees staged an unusual protest by organising a “beef fest” after their newly appointed regional manager allegedly instructed the canteen not to serve beef.
According to the employees, the small canteen inside the bank served beef only on select days, but the manager, directed the staff to stop serving it. As per reports, the manager is from Bihar.
The protest was led by the Bank Employees Federation of India (BEFI), which had already planned demonstrations against the manager over alleged insulting behaviour and mental harassment.
After the beef ban, the employees decided to highlight the issue by holding a beef festival.
BEFI leader S.S. Anil said the protest was not about forcing anyone to eat beef but about defending personal freedom, adding that food choice is a constitutional right in India.
The protestors showed their anger by serving and eating beef outside the bank office.
Independent MLA K.T. Jaleel supported the employees through a Facebook post, saying that senior officers have no right to dictate what people eat, wear, or think.
Kerala has seen similar protests in the past. In 2017, after the Centre banned the sale of cattle for slaughter in animal markets, many groups in the state organised beef festivals as a form of resistance.
Keralians are already brainwashed by the leftists. That is why minority clerics converting these brainwashed bigots. Easy target. Can they have pork fests? Everything is not seen In angle of rights of what you eat and not. Constitution has given the rights to follow the faiths. Beef eating hurts majority faiths. So this will not fit in rights to eat whatever!! Beef fest is the act of deliberately hurting Hindus. Does the bankers in Kerala don’t have any work pressure as enjoying deliberate acts? Can I apply transfer there to enjoy work free environment to do these nonsense acts?
Well eating is fundamental right but not at public places. Such as office canteen. Then you can serve pork also. I should have options for all types of food.and not only for beef. And your MLLA is supporting it. Is hepaying for the canteen or wants to have a say in every thing. The as a Muslim he has to serve pork also as many will have pork meet if served in office canteen.
Chalo bhai, ye Bank mein khata band karaane ka time aa gaya
