Kerala’s ruling Left Democratic Front and the Opposition United Democratic front have vehemently opposed the impending release of the contentious commercial film The Kerala Story.
They have raised cautionary red flags, warning that the “acutely divisive” movie’s screening could divide society along sectarian lines.
The film purportedly centres on the questionable claim that the Islamic State (IS) found Kerala a fertile ground for recruiting impressionable youth, an alleged 32,000 men and women conscripts, to its terrorist cause during the 2016-18 period.
