The book "The Kerala Story" tells the tale of how 32,000 women who vanished from Kerala were forced to convert to Islam, and the most of them were moved to regions controlled by the Islamic State.
Following the commotion that was sparked by the trailer for the upcoming movie, Congress asked that it be completely suppressed. A teaser video released earlier this month claimed that more than 32,000 women in Kerala had been converted to Islam, the bulk of them were sent to Islamic State-held territory in Syria and Afghanistan.
During the height of the debate, the Director General of Police for the state of Kerala made a request that a formal complaint be filed in Thiruvananthapuram against the production team of the film for allegedly portraying the state as a shelter for terrorists.
In his reaction to the teaser, Congress legislator and leader of the opposition in the Kerala Assembly VD Satheesan said that the movie spreads misleading information and that it ought to be banned.
"I have already seen the sneak peek. There has been a significant amount of misinformation disseminated. There is currently nothing even like comparable going on in Kerala at this moment. to bring shame upon the state of Kerala in the eyes of other states. This encourages intolerance and ought to be outlawed for that reason. We are typically opposed to the practise of censoring movies; but, we are concerned that the spread of such misleading information might lead to significant issues in our communities. "...he made the following statement.
"There is no trace of it in the files of the state police. Any event that involves central processing is obliged to have members of the public present. IS is known to have recruited women from Kerala, and the papers that are linked below explain their recruitment as well as their locations. And then he continued by saying.
The narration is done by Adah Sharma, one of the characters whose narrative is included in the video. Despite the fact that she had always desired to work in the medical field, she was taken from her family and is presently doing time in an Afghan jail for providing help to the Islamic State.
After receiving a copy of the complaint, Pinarayi Vijayan, the Chief Minister of Kerala, sent it to the Director General of Police.
Arvindakshan said on Twitter, "I have sent a note to the Chief Minister of Kerala and the Director General of Police requesting that they get in touch with Sudipto Sen, the director of 'The Kerala Story,' and examine the reality of the teaser."
In a subsequent part of the letter that he sent to the Prime Minister, he made the assertion that the film was a danger to national security and would bring the intelligence community into contempt.
Following their examination of the teaser, the investigators came to the conclusion that it had been crafted with the intention of tarnishing the name of the state and fueling hostilities between various communities.
A senior police officer has said that a complaint has been lodged under a number of various sections of the Indian penal code, including Sections 153 A and B. (promoting dissension and hatred between different communities on the premise of religion).
Supposedly based on the actual tale of four women from north Kerala whose husbands were believed to have been slain and who were afterwards found to be imprisoned in Afghanistan. Two years earlier, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had already responded negatively to their plea to be allowed to travel back home.
A veiled woman from Kerala called Shalini Unnikrishnan alias Fathima Ba was featured in the film. She claimed to be "one of 32,000 converted women from the state who were subsequently taken to Syria and Yemen to fight for the Islamic State."
