“V. D. Satheesan stated that if he becomes Chief Minister, he will first wipe out Hindu extremists.”
Available evidence indicates this is a fabricated attribution, not a verified Satheesan statement. Credible reporting found no record of him saying he would “first wipe out Hindu extremists” if he became Chief Minister, and a published clarification specifically denied the quote as social-media misinformation. His documented remarks criticize Hindutva/BJP-RSS politics, but that does not authenticate this specific wording or promise.
“Hotel Mehr in Kerala used an image of Baby Krishna to promote non-vegetarian food.”
The core claim is substantiated by multiple credible news sources. A Kerala restaurant widely identified as "Mehr Mandi & Grills" (colloquially shortened to "Hotel Mehr" in the claim) did circulate a Vishu promotional poster depicting baby Krishna alongside a non-vegetarian kuzhi manthi dish, leading to arrests and a public apology. The restaurant's exact name is slightly simplified in the claim, and the establishment attributed the poster to an outsourced designer's error — but the promotional material was nonetheless publicly circulated under the restaurant's name.
