Kind attetion is invited to the captioned subject.
I am writing ;his letter to solicit your urgent attention to a grave issue that may topple down the public tranquillity and the secular fabric of the Nation and intended to defame Kerala.
I have stumbled upon news reports regarding the viral circulation in the Social Media of a Movie Teaser ie. The Kerala Story produced by Shri Vipul Amrutial Shah and directed by Shri Sudipto Sen. It is Learnt that the teaser has been released in the YouTube page of Sunshine Pictures on , 03.11.2022. The teaser, claims to be depicting the story of 32,000 women from Kerala who were radicalized to join ISIS terrorist group, which is absolutely rubbish and fallacious. Such dissemination of grossly false information may lead to
inconceivable repercussions and unrest in the society and the same will amount to defaming the State as well. This false narrative is being massively spread over social media. Till now 903.060 viewers have watched the teaser on Sunshine Pictures YouTube page. Apart from this, the teaser scene illegally released by Sunshine Pictures has reached millions of people through Facebook, Twitter and WhatsApp.
This impulsive teaser has sowed the seeds or distrust and perturbation among various sections of people in the Slate as well as in the Country far and wide. It attempts to picturize a ludicrously fictitious story, claiming as if a true narrative of the actual events. It is not only derogatory in nature but also are afraid to he aimed at causing communal divide and tension
between various religions, which therefore entails serious penal consequences , Such deliberate and sinister plot to outrage the religious feelings and promoting enmity between different groups On grounds of religious and upsetting the public tranquillity and prejudicial to, the national integration and to be dealt with an iron fist and attracts culpable responsibility as per various criminal Statutes including. but not limited to. Sections 153A. 153Bc 295A and
505 of the Indian Penal Code 1860.
It is pertinent to note that the appalling attempt to assert that 32000 women had been converted to Islam and sent to Syria and Yemen, is not only highly deplorable but also devoid of any merits. Even the factual data shared by the authorities depict a different picture. The Union Home Ministry puts the number at 155 all over the Country (as per various news reports publishe in June. 2019). Home ministry might be well aware of the ground realities
and many a times replies and responses were given. which were in stark contradiction to what have been claimed in the Teaser.
The deliberate iniquitous attempt is further corroborated by the fact that the concoction has been managed misquoting two former Chief Ministers of Kerala. Their Statements have been deliberately twisted and wrongly used to weave a nefarious thread for the purported movie. At no stretch of imagination, the narratives could be considered as accidental, but are
consciously intended to defame Kerala and to create polarization in the society. Such mischievous actions are to be nipped in the bud.
It is true that I have always been, and always will be steadfast and vocal for protecting the freedom of speech and expression. Nothing should be done to curtail it But such a blatant abuse to spread canards and induce violence creating chasms is ghastly despicable act.
In these, circumstances. considering the exigency. I strongly urge upon the POLICE DEPARTMENT to take swift actions in this regard. Your earliest action in this regard is highly solicited
yours Faithfully
