The Communist Party of India (Marxist) and the Congress have condemned the National Award for Kerala Story, allegedly Islamophobic film, which allegedly transmits Kerala’s negative depiction as a fertile land for radical Islamists, which dodls the wedding for the recruitment of Hindu women for the recruitment to the Jihadist.
Culture Minister Saji Cherian gave the award to the latest Salvo in the socio-economic and cultural war, the Union Parivar-backed Central Government has instigated against secular and progressive Kerala.
“The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government at the Center has strangled Kerala financially. It has instigated the governors to the autonomy of various types of state-funded for saffron of the secular and progressive higher education system of Kerala.

Mr. Cherian said that BJP ruled states gave a tax break to the film, in which he said that thousands of Hindu women in Kerala were victims of “Love Jihad”.
He said that the Sangh Parivar had injected the phrase in Hindu major rhetoric, so that Muslim youth could be agitated to the wedding for adaptation to Hindu women and later accused of bigotry to fill the ranks of Islamist fighters in Syria and Yemen.
Finance Minister KNA Balagopal said that the principles of forced conversion conspiracy propagated by Armada of Hindu writing groups have caused an increase in attacks on minorities in BJP -ruled states.
“We saw in Chhattisgarh how the Bajrang Dal Lynch mob ambushed two Kerala nuns for taking out tribal women for tribal women for adaptation to Christianity. The BJP government in the state played the second bella for the conspirators. He arrested Nuns and arrested Nuns on human trafficking charges.”
Excise Minister MB Rajesh said that the BJP had distorted the National Film Awards to showcase Kerala. He said that the BJP had repeatedly bowed down to the false and malicious story of a sick film to sow communal division in the state.
All India Congress Committee (AICC) General Secretary (Organization), KC Venugopal, MP said that the distorted message of the film has helped Hindu writing groups hate minorities in BJP-wide states and sow communal division in Kerala. He said, “The National Award for the Zenophobic Movie is the BJP’s peback to the secular Kerala to close the door on the Rashtriya Awards Association family,” he said.
