If there are love jihad incidents in Kerala, it's the state government's responsibility to take steps against it," said Arif Mohammed Khan."The Kerala Story', starring Adah Sharma, is set to be released in cinemas on May 5.The movie is based on the forced conversion and radicalisation of women in the state.Initially, the film's teaser on YouTube read "heartbreaking and gut-wrenching stories of 32,000 females in Kerala...".

That should not be allowed to be screened because that will create problems in society", Chennithala said.Senior Congress leader further said that the party has always been upholding individual freedom of expression but this movie is a calculated move to create communal divisions."We are always upholding individual's freedom and freedom of expression. But this is not that. This is a calculated move to divide society on communal lines. It will create problems in the society. That is why we are opposing it", he said.'The Kerala Story' stars Adah Sharma, Yogita Bih, Siddhi Idn and Sonia Bal in the lead roles.The trailer of Sen's film 'The Kerala Story' came under fire as it claimed that 32,000 girls from the state went missing and later joined the terrorist group, ISIS.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
