The Congress party is requesting a ban on the film and is recommending that it not be screened when it is released on May 5, 2023, just days after the publication of its first teaser for the upcoming film The Kerala Story.
After The Kerala Story‘s social media trailer went live on April 26, the Congress party argued that the country’s government should forbid screenings of the film because it was “full of lies and painted the Muslim community in a bad light.”
The video is a bunch of lies, according to Kerala’s Leader of the Opposition and Congress leader VD Satheesan. It claims that 32,000 women were converted and moved to territories controlled by the Islamic State. Its trailer provided adequate content hints. It is being done by Sangh Parivar organisations with the intention of defaming the government and the community.
The Kerala Story’s trailer, which was deemed an insult to the state and led to protests across the state, was released. The outcry to it has also been compared to that experienced by Vivek Agnihotri’s The Kashmir Files, and it has similarly been labelled a propaganda movie.
The Kerala Story, a film directed by Sudipto Sen, is being sold as “based on true events” and tells the tale of 32,000 women who supposedly belonged to Christian and Hindu communities in Kerala before converting to Islam and joining the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
The movie’s events reveal that between 2016 and 2018, four women from Kerala converted to Islam and went to Afghanistan with their husbands to join ISIS. The information presented in the film has not yet been confirmed.
In addition, the film includes language delivered by Muslim characters who criticise Hindu deities and makes reference to the national hijab controversy as well as the concept of “love jihad.” The movie trailer contains a number of sequences that are stirring up debate, including one where a Muslim preacher is seen urging young people to “trap Hindu women by impregnating them.”
The Kerala Story, according to the Congress party and other organisations, presents facts incorrectly and disparages Kerala as a state. The INC also said that the movie’s portrayal of the Muslim community is likely to incite hatred.
