One wrote, “Nobody forces anyone here to eat or to not eat anything. It’s the choice of every individual and we are well aware of our rights. Go on making shitty propaganda movies but that won’t shatter the unity of our homeland.”
Kerala CM reacts to The Kerala Story 2 trailer
Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan referred to the film as a “propaganda of Sangh Parivar”. Responding to the allegation, the director of the controversial film stated, “Sadly, the state chief minister is not worried about the victims, and he is indulging in politics. He should come down very hard on these criminals and protect the girls. We have put out the video of 32,000, yet he didn’t take any action against the criminals. It’s very, very, very sad. We have to protect our girls.”
