Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has slammed the Doordarshan’s decision to broadcast the controversial Hindutva propaganda film The Kerala Story.
“The decision by Doordarshan to broadcast the film ‘Kerala Story’, which incites polarisation, is highly condemnable,” Vijayan said in a post on X.
“The national news broadcaster should not become a propaganda machine of the BJP-RSS combine and withdraw from screening a film that only seeks to exacerbate communal tensions ahead of the general elections. Kerala will remain steadfast in opposing such malicious attempts to sow hatred,” he added.
The Communist Party of India (Marxist) State secretariat has also said Doordarshan should not screen the divisive movie that played to Sangh Parivar’s bid to demonise minorities.
