Congress leader MM Hassan called for the ban of a movie titled ‘The Kerala Story’ on Tuesday, claiming that it would cause communal divisions in society. In a statement Hassan said that “The movie ‘The Kerala Story’ is produced as part of a Sangh Parivar propaganda.
“Its impression is to create communal divisions in society. This movie will destroy the secular image of Kerala in the world. So we call for a ban on ‘The Kerala Story’. The producer and the director are claiming that it is their creative freedom and justifying this. But it doesn’t mean that in that name they will spread lies and communalize society.”
