“This is outrageous! An African boy mocking ISKCON’s Govinda restaurant by eating KFC chicken after confirming it’s vegetarian is a blatant disrespect to Hindu values. Expecting more under Sadiq Khan’s watch, with some calling London “Londonistan,” hints at rising anti-Hindu sentiment. Time for stronger action against such hate!” tweeted one netizen.
“This incident isn’t just a joke — it’s a clear sign that some people have zero respect for others’ faith and sentiments. Such behavior inside a religious space like ISKCON isn’t casual; it’s a deliberate provocation and mockery. If actions like these are ignored, then in the name of “tolerance,” disrespecting culture and belief will become the new normal,” wrote another user.
