This African-British youth entered into ISKCON's Govinda restaurant - knowingly that it's pure Veg restaurant - asked if there's meat available, then pulled out his KFC box and not only ate chicken (chewed like a 🐷), but also offered others working/eating in… pic.twitter.com/TtPJz9Jg7m

Internet users have slammed the man's blatant disregard for the restaurant's ethos and called it an act of racism. Some said that his actions may have been driven by a lack of understanding or a deliberate attempt to disrespect the cultural and religious values of the Hindu community.
One user wrote, "He achieved nothing by harassing people! Zero achievement but created a nuisance in society."
Another commented, "Hope the complaint was filed in the local police station … Don't know if he can be arrested for this or not, but this is pure hate towards Hindus and he is fully aware that Hindus won't retaliate, so he dared to do such a horrendous thing."
A third said, "Why didn't they call the police? They are smiling, if you are a coward don't ask others for help."
A fourth added, "The intentional violation of a cultural and religious norm in this manner is a clear demonstration of intolerance that cannot be tolerated in any civilised society."

Why Mahadev Hill of Kashmir, a living legend, is sacred to Hindus
The mastermind of Pahalgam attack was among three terrorists linked to the April 22 massacre who were killed in an encounter on Monday near one of Kashmir's holiest summits — the Mahadev Peak. The terrorists killed 26 civilians after segregating them on the basis of their religion. Not just the place, the timing of Operation Mahadev is coincidental too. It comes just weeks before Sawan Purnimashi, the full moon in the holy month, when, as historians note, Kashmiri Pandits used to undertake their annual pilgrimage to the sacred peak in reverence to Lord Lashkar-e-Taiba commander Suleiman Shah, alias Musa Fauji, the mastermind and executor of the attack was among the three Pahalgam attackers killed by security forces in an Peak is a sacred site that finds mentions in ancient scriptures and Kashmiri folklore. "Hindus consider it a sacred site. At the top lies an ancient glacier which remains frozen for 12 months. Some people get ice from it and vend it in the streets of the city. On Sawan Purnimashi, the Pundits make a pilgrimage to this site," according to Kashmiri historian Peer Hassan MAHADEV TO NEUTRALISE PAHALGAM ATTACKERSTitled 'Operation Mahadev', the joint anti-terror drive was launched by the Army, Jammu and Kashmir Police, and the CRPF in Srinagar's Lidwas area, a region right under the shadow of Mount Mahadev or the Mahadev sources confirmed that the terrorists were foreign nationals affiliated with the Pakistan-based group, The Resistance Front (TRF), a Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) to officials, the gunfight began after intelligence inputs pointed to the movement of armed terrorists in the Lidwas area.A cordon was quickly set up, and the area combed. A brief, but intense exchange of fire ensued, following which all three suspects were gunned location and timing of this encounter have not gone unnoticed, for the site of the killing of the terrorists is not just a mountaintop, but a living embodiment of divine memory for the Kashmiri Hindu PEAK IS CALLED 'THE PEAK OF SRINAGAR'Mahadev Peak, rising over 13,000 feet (3,962 metres) above sea level, is no ordinary mountain in the eyes of the devout Pandit community of the Kashmir Valley, who used go on annual pilgrimage treks to the Mahadev Peak, part of the Zabarwan Range in Srinagar District, stands as a symbol of spiritual significance in Kashmir. The holy peak, visible across most parts of Srinagar city, has earned the moniker "the peak of Srinagar".The Mahadev Peak, the highest in Srinagar, the capital of Jammu and Kashmir, is locally known as 'Mahadeva Gali' and is revered by Kashmiri Pandits as the abode of Lord Shiva, the god of destruction and meditation in Hindu per Kashmiri folklore, this is the very path that Lord Shiva took to reach Amarnath Cave, where he narrated the Amar Katha (the tale of immortality) to Goddess doing so, Shiva is believed to have shed all attachments, including his serpents, the crescent moon, his damru (drum), and even Nandi the bull, on the way. The Mahadev Peak is considered one such stop in Shiva's HILLS: FROM NILMATA PURANA TO RAJATARANGINIMount Mahadev attracted hundreds of Pandits every year during the Sawan Purnima pilgrimage. However, the mass pilgrimage to the holy hills stopped as terrorism and militancy hit the Mahadev Peak is a symbol of Kashmiri culture, the memory of which cannot be erased by terrorism or peak stands as a living legend for the Kashmiri Pandit trek to the Mahadev peak begins from Faqir Gujri, passing through places still bearing their ancient names — Dwara (Dara), Rudrawas (Lidvas), according to a report in the Jammu-based Daily scriptures from the Nilamata Purana to Kalhana's Rajatarangini from the 12th century, speak of the Mahadevagiri as a pilgrimage and a holy Nilamata Purana, also known as the Kasmira Mahatmya, states: "One is honoured in the world of Rudra by seeing the mountain Mahadeva after having a plunge into the Mahuri in front of Tripuresa."The Nilamata Purana, which documented Kashmir between the 4th and 8th centuries, affirms the peak's location and divine stature, noting: "Mahadevagiri is the westernmost peak of the highest ridge of the mass of mountains lying between the Sind valley and the eastern range of mountains".Kalhana's Rajatarangini, written in the 12th century, describes the grandeur of the region's geography and locates Mahadev Peak with reverence, noting, "The whole mountain-ridge which stretches to the south of Triphar and along the Dal, bore in ancient times the name of Sridvara. On the opposite side of the valley rises the bold peak of Mahadeva to a height of over 13,000 feet. The extremity of this ridge in the west forms the amphitheatre of bold hills which encircle Dal Lake and Srinagar to the north".While historical sources affirm the religious significance of Mahadev Hill, the tradition has largely been forgotten by the people, suggest reports. Today, it has been reduced to an adventure or tourist destination for locals and visitors alike, with little awareness of its deep historical, spiritual, and religious importance, according to the report in the Daily is near this Mahadev Hill, with immense cultural and religious significance, that the three alleged attackers of Pahalgam, who segregated civilians on the basis of faith and killed them, were neutralised.- Ends

Mike Johnson calls for 'great pause' on a Ghislaine Maxwell pardon, pushes for life sentence instead
US Speaker of the House Mike Johnson disagreed with Republicans who are floating the idea of granting a pardon or commutation to Ghislaine Maxwell as the Epstein scandal continues to rock the White House. read more US Speaker of the House Mike Johnson disagreed with Republicans who are floating the idea of granting a pardon or commutation to Ghislaine Maxwell as the Epstein scandal continues to rock the White House. While speaking to NBC News, Johnson said that he would have a 'great pause' about taking such measures. The remarks from the Republican speaker are coming at a time when many of the House representatives from his party suggested that the option to pardon Maxwell should be considered as part of an effort to obtain more information about Jeffrey Epstein's crimes. For weeks, US President Donald Trump and his allies, including Johnson himself, have been under immense pressure to disclose more information about Epstein. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Johnson's take on the matter came after Todd Blanche, the deputy attorney general, met with Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking, over two days last week. The former British socialite was Epstein's close confidante for years and his partner-in-crime, literally. The case became more complicated after Epstein killed himself in jail in 2019. I think she should have a life sentence: Johnson While speaking to NBC News on the matter, the House Speaker pushed for a life sentence for Maxwell instead. 'If you're asking my opinion, I think 20 years was a pittance. I think she should have a life sentence at least. I mean, think of all these unspeakable crimes,' he said. 'It's hard to put into words how evil this was, and that she orchestrated it and was a big part of it, at least under the criminal sanction, I think, is an unforgivable thing. So again, not my decision, but I have great pause about that, as any reasonable person would,' he added. When pressed further about whether he would favour a pardon, Johnson deferred to Trump. 'Obviously, that's a decision of the president. He said he had not adequately considered that. I won't get it in front of him. That's not my lane,' he said. It is pertinent to note that House Representative Thomas Massie, a Kentucky Republican who has been pushing for disclosure of more Epstein information, said a pardon should be on the table for Maxwell. 'That would be up to the president. But if she has information that could help us, then I think she should testify. Let's get that out there. And whatever they need to do to compel that testimony, as long as it's truthful, I would be in favour of,' he told Welker on Meet the Press. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD California Democrat Ro Khanna, who has joined Massie's effort to release more information, said he did not support a pardon for Maxwell, who was charged with perjury in connection with a civil deposition in 2016. However, prosecutors did not move forward with those charges once they obtained her sex-trafficking conviction. 'I'm concerned that the deputy attorney general, Todd Blanche, is meeting with her supposedly one-on-one. Look, I agree with Congressman Massie that she should testify. But she's been indicted twice on perjury. This is why we need the files. This is why we need independent evidence,' Khanna told NBC News. Hence, it will be interesting to see how the Trump team would approach the matter.
