A public interest litigation petition has been filed in the Madras High Court for banning the multilingual movie The Kerala Story on the ground that it makes a baseless claim of 32,000 Hindu and Christian women from Kerala having been converted to Islam and made to join the ISIS terrorist movement.
A summer vacation Bench of Justices A.D. Jagadish Chandira and C. Saravanan is expected to hear on Thursday the petition filed by a journalist B.R. Aravindakshan. The litigant feared that, if released, the movie might stir communal passions and cause disturbance to public order.
