‘Only 3 women joined IS’
Jitendra Awhad said, ‘The producer of this film has not only tarnished the image of Kerala but also insulted the women of the state.’ He said that 32,000 women from Kerala went missing and joined the Islamic State terror outfit. But actually this number is only 3. Awhad has been in controversies before by giving controversial statements. Recently he said that it seems that Ram Navami and Hanuman Jayanti are celebrated to create riots in the state.
Let us tell you that the film ‘The Kerala Story’, based on the issues of religious conversion and terrorism and polarizing political discourse, has been made tax free in the BJP-ruled states of Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Madhya Pradesh. At the same time, some opposition party leaders have criticized the film for allegedly promoting hatred. Also, the screening of the film has been banned in states like West Bengal and Tamil Nadu. On the one hand, this film is creating a buzz at the box office, on the other hand, politics is also getting hotter regarding it.
