'Jinnah's portrait and beef in Kashi cafe'; North Indian influencer's Fort Kochi vlog courts controversy

KOCHI: A North Indian influencer visiting Kerala courted controversy with his tactless remarks about the demographic change in Fort Kochi. In the video, the vlogger claimed that Fort Kochi is "full of Muslims," ​​and even asserted that Kerala is on the brink of danger and even asked the central government to intervene. The controversial video was shared via an Instagram account named 'Litichokup'.

The vlogger, who is currently residing in Fort Kochi, said that if anything happens to him following the release of this video, the Kerala Government will be held entirely responsible. The video also makes a reference to the well-known 'Kashi Art Cafe' in Fort Kochi. The vlogger said that the name 'Kashi' has no connection to Banaras or Mahadeva.

Meanwhile, Diya Krishna, social media influencer and daughter of BJP leader Krishnakumar, came forward in support of the video, commenting "sad reality" beneath it.

Vlogger:

“I was taken aback when I stepped into Kashi Cafe. It was the first time in India that I had seen a portrait of Jinnah displayed on a wall alongside one of Gandhi. The owner of Kashi Art Cafe has put up over 50 silver-plated images there. Later, when I asked for the menu to place an order, I discovered that it consisted entirely of beef dishes—nothing but beef.

Fort Kochi is now dominated by muslims. 95 per cent of the business owners, taxi drivers, rickshaw drivers, small-scale traders, earring sellers, puncture repairmen, and vendors selling fruits and vegetables—everyone is Muslim!

You wouldn't believe it—I spoke with some locals here who hold right-wing views. They are all living in fear and have chosen to remain silent. They told me, "Brother, please do not reveal your location when you make your videos.”

Extremely dangerous developments are taking place in Kerala.
