    Shashi Tharoor tweeted on ‘The Kerala Story’

    New Delhi. Shalini Unnikrishnan… A girl from Kerala who leaves home with a dream in her eyes to become a nurse and serve the people. But it was not known when hijab, religion, jihad became a part of her life during training. She herself was no longer Shalini, she was made Fatima. In this way, the mission of a girl completely trapped in the clutches of ISIS turned from service to terror. This is the story line of the film ‘The Kerala Story’, released on May 5, whose teaser has just laid the foundation of a new controversy across the country.
    Shashi Tharoor tweeted
    The Kerala Story claims that 32,000 Hindu and Christian girls from Kerala were forcibly converted and sent out of the country to join ISIS. Controversy is increasing the most regarding this fact and story of the film. Other parties including the Congress are also making allegations about this and saying that this film is just an agenda and through this an attempt is being made to spoil the harmony. On the other hand, on Sunday, senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor tweeted that ‘It may be ‘your’ Kerala story. It is not ‘our’ Kerala story. Tharoor said that it may be the story of your Kerala, it is not the story of our Kerala.

    CM Vijayan has also expressed opposition
    Even before Shashi Tharoor, many other leaders have also opposed the teaser of the film. The film releasing on 5 May 2023 is produced by Sudipto Sen. Vipul Amritlal Shah is its producer and creative director. On Sunday, Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan commented on the makers of ‘The Kerala Story’. Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said that issues like love jihad have been dismissed by the courts, investigative agencies and even the Union Home Ministry. Vijayan said that prima facie the trailer of the film appears to be ‘deliberately produced’ with the alleged objective of creating communal polarization and spreading hatred against the state. He said that despite this, Kerala has been shown as the main base of the film to humiliate the state in front of the world.
    The film has also come under attack from Congress and CPI(M)
    CM Vijayan said that ‘such propaganda films and the hatred towards Muslims shown in them should be seen in the context of Sangh Parivar’s efforts to gain political mileage in Kerala. He also accused the Sangh Parivar of trying to destroy religious harmony in Kerala and “sowing poisonous seeds of communalism”. A few days ago, both the ruling CPI(M) in Kerala and the opposition Congress hit out at the controversial upcoming film, saying the license to spew venom denied freedom of speech and that the film was trying to destroy the communal harmony of the state. There is an effort.
    FIR instructions on the teaser of the film
    The DGP of Kerala has directed the Commissioner of Police, Thiruvananthapuram City to register an FIR on the teaser of the film ‘The Kerala Story’. The order to register an FIR has been given after a complaint was sent to the CM. The High Tech Crime Inquiry Cell conducted a preliminary inquiry into the matter and has sent its report to the DGP. According to information, a journalist from Tamil Nadu wrote a letter to Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan after watching the teaser of the film ‘The Kerala Story’. The journalist had requested the Kerala government to summon the film’s director and investigate the veracity of the teaser, which claimed that 32,000 girls from Kerala were forcibly converted to Islam, who later joined the terrorist group ISIS.
