Amid petitions in the Supreme Court demanding a stay on controversial film ‘The Kerala Story’, union information and broadcast minister Anurag Thakur organised a screening of the movie for a set of women journalists at a Delhi theatre. A picture widely circulated on social media showed ABP’s Rubika Liyaquat among several journalists standing with Thakur.
This comes days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi referred to the film as an “ugly truth” in one of his poll rallies in Karnataka, hitting out at the Congress for opposing the movie for votes.
