The Kerala Story is all set to launch on May 5 however the movie has already been within the eye of the storm with many political leaders demanding a ban on it. Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan accused it of being a propaganda movie aimed toward communal polarisation. He stated that the trailer of the movie is attempting to unfold the propaganda of Sangh Parivar.Â
“The trailer of the Hindi film The Kerala Story, which appears to have been deliberately made with the aim of communal polarisation and to spread hate propaganda against Kerala was released last day. It is indicated from the trailer that this film is trying to spread the propaganda of Sangh Parivar, which has established itself as the centre of religious extremism in the land of secularism, Kerala,” stated CM Vijayan.
He additional stated that individuals should see the propaganda of Sangh Parivar to achieve an electoral benefit in Kerala. He stated that even investigative businesses have rejected the idea of ‘love jihad’. “It is necessary to see propaganda films and their Muslim alienation in the background of various efforts being made by Sangh Parivar to gain an advantage in electoral politics in Kerala. It is part of a systematic move to frame the ‘love jihad’ allegations which were rejected by the investigating agencies, the courts and even the Union Home Ministry. G Kishan Reddy, the then MoS Home who is a minister in the cabinet even today had replied in the Parliament that there is no such thing as ‘love jihad’,” stated the Kerala CM in a press release.Â
He accused the Sangh of spreading division politics via pretend tales and flicks. “Seeing that Parivar politics does not work in Kerala like in other places, they are trying to spread division politics through fake stories and movies. The Sangh Parivar is spreading such myths without any facts and evidence. The big lie that 32,000 women in Kerala converted to Islam and joined the Islamic State was what we saw in the trailer of the film. This fake story is the product of the Sangh Parivar’s lie factory,” alleged CM Vijayan.
The movie has attracted the ire of CPI(M) and Congress as nicely since its trailer was launched on April 26. Both events stated that freedom of expression was not a licence to spew venom in society, and the movie was an try and destroy the communal concord of the state. ‘The Kerala Story’ is written and directed by Sudipto Sen. The movie portrays ‘unearthing’ the occasions behind ‘roughly 32,000 girls’ allegedly going lacking within the southern state.
