New Delhi, Oct 27 (PTI): The Kerala government on Tuesday dismissed claims that beef curry was served at Kerala House, its official state house in the capital, and said a complaint has been lodged over entry of right-wing activists who had enquired about cow meat.

Kerala Chief Secretary Jiji Thomson categorically denied that cow meat was served at Kerala House and said they will wait for “police action” on the government’s complaint.

“I totally deny that cow meat was served here (canteen of Kerala House). Only buffalo meat is served,” Thomson told reporters here.

However, in the light of the events Monday, Kerala House has temporarily taken buffalo meat off its menu.

The Resident Commissioner of Kerala House, a senior officer who is posted in Delhi to liaise with the Union government, has lodged a police complaint, Thomson said.

”I was told that some persons gate-crashed into Kerala House yesterday, the police had also entered. The resident commissioner has made a complaint to the DCP over their (gate- crashers') entry. We will wait for the police's action now,” he said.

A person claiming to be from a fringe right-wing group had called up the police control room and complained that beef curry was being served Kerala House.

The police said a large force had been rushed immediately to Kerala House to prevent any “untoward incident” after the call was received at around 4.15pm Monday.

“The policemen took no chance and the input was immediately passed on to Parliament Street police station, from where a team was sent to Kerala House to deal with any potential violence,” a police official had said.

The team remained deployed there for several hours and spoke with the officials posted there.
