Union Information & Broadcasting Minister Anurag Thakur on Monday said West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had done injustice to the sisters and daughters of the State by banning The Kerala Story. The film exposed the “sinister nexus of religious conversions”, he said.
“Today the whole country wants to ask her in one voice that why she has so much problem with a film focused on terrorism?...It is beyond understanding why their sympathies are with terrorist organisations and not with these innocent girls of Kerala who were victims of terrorism. Those who consider this film as agenda-propaganda, I want say to such advocates of terrorism that today every child of the country wants to know the story of Kerala which you have been hiding,” Mr. Thakur said, after watching the film, said to be based on Kerala women who joined the Islamic State.
