Kerala CM slams The Kerala Story 2
On Wednesday (February 19), a day after the movie was released, Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan also condemned the film. In the statement, CM Vijayan questioned how “poisonous works produced to spread division and hatred in society” are being created.
Pointing out the first instalment, which was released in 2023, CM Vijayan said that it was also made with the “intent to spread hatred against the state and undermine its secular tradition.”
“They are spreading false propaganda by portraying even marriages conducted with mutual consent as examples of communalism and forced religious conversion,” the CM said
“We must collectively reject attempts to portray Kerala, a land of religious harmony that stands at the forefront of sustainable development and is a model in maintaining law and order, as a center of terrorism. It is the responsibility of each of us to ensure that Kerala's secular foundation is not undermined by false propaganda and to reject it by upholding the values of secularism and brotherhood,” Vijayan added.
