Kochi. On the subject of freedom of expression, the double character of the leftists comes to the fore from time to time. If the subject is according to their own-agenda then all is well. And if it is related to the opposition, then they start crying out for secularism and the sentiments of a class. Something similar is being seen with The Kerala Story.
Religious fundamentalists and communist leaders have come forward, demanding that the screening of the movie be stopped, and the director be arrested.
John Brittas MP has written to Union Home Minister Amit Shah demanding action against the upcoming movie ‘The Kerala Story.’ The movie is about the recruitment of individuals by the Islamic State (IS) in Kerala. According to Brittas, the teaser of the film, which is circulating on social media, hurts religious sentiments and destroys the public peace of society.
In his letter to Amit Shah, John Brittas MP said that the film spreads an immoral message, destroys the country’s secularism, and destroys the concept of unity in diversity. He demanded that the Union Home Ministry should take immediate action in the matter.
The movie is set to release next month, but it has already garnered a lot of attention. Religious fundamentalists and communist leaders have come forward, demanding that the screening of the movie be stopped, and the director be arrested. The film has faced a lot of opposition, with several people claiming that it promotes terrorism and is anti-national.
