The full text of the minister's Facebook post:
'The best food should be given to school children, not in prisons - Kunchacko Boban' The first thing that caught my attention was the graphics cards in this format. I wanted to know what Chackochan meant. I listened to those words. It is understood that what Chackochan said with good intentions was reported in this way.
Anyway, I cordially invite Chackochan to visit a government school during lunchtime. I will also come. The children will also be happy. We can eat food with the children. He can know the menu and taste of school lunch."
