In a statement, the CM said, "The trailer of the Hindi film The Kerala Story, which appears to have been deliberately made with the aim of communal polarisation and to spread hate propaganda against Kerala was released last day. It is indicated from the trailer that this film is trying to spread the propaganda of Sangh Parivar, which has established itself as the centre of religious extremism in the land of secularism, Kerala."

He added that by releasing this film the Sangh Parivar is trying to gain the vote bank in Kerala.
"It is necessary to see propaganda films and their Muslim alienation in the background of various efforts being made by Sangh Parivar to gain an advantage in electoral politics in Kerala. It is part of a systematic move to frame the 'love jihad' allegations which were rejected by the investigating agencies, the courts and even the Union Home Ministry. G Kishan Reddy, the then MoS Home who is a minister in the cabinet even today had replied in the Parliament that there is no such thing as 'love jihad.'"
"The Kerala Story" is based on true events. Thousands of girls from Kerala were converted to Islam for recruitment to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria.

The Kerala Story trailer shows 32000 Kerala women were converted and inducted into ISIS
What is the film directed by Sudipto Sen and produced by VA Shah about? Going by the teaser and trailer, the film shows how 32,000 girls were converted to Islam and sent to Syria and Yemen to join ISIS.
He called it a fake story and a fake movie.
"Seeing that Parivar politics does not work in Kerala like in other places, they are trying to spread division politics through fake stories and movies. The Sangh Parivar is spreading such myths without any facts and evidence. The big lie that 32,000 women in Kerala converted to Islam and joined the Islamic State was what we saw in the trailer of the film. This fake story is the product of the Sangh Parivar's lie factory".

Earlier, CPI(M) MP John Brittas had urged Union Home Minister Amit Shah and demanded action against the movie.
Brittas said that claims about 32,000 women converting and joining terror are "absolutely rubbish and fallacious."
Teaser of ¡®The Kerala Story¡¯, falsely claims that 32000 women from Kerala were converted to IS & send abroad. Being widely circulated, this severly threatens harmony, secularism& national unity apart from defaming Kerala. Wrote to @AmitShah ji& @ianuragthakur ji for urgent action pic.twitter.com/spWh8su4l4

Kerala director general of police Anil Kant had also ordered FIR in the case
An FIR has been lodged against makers of ¡®The Kerala Story¡¯ for misrepresenting facts. Politicians from the CPIM & Congress want the movie banned. What about ¡°creative expression¡± & ¡°artistic freedom¡±? Or do they only apply to movies that abuse Hinduism?

Tamil Nadu-based journalist BR Arvindakshan had written to the country¡¯s film certification board chief Prasoon Joshi and others seeking a ban on the movie.
Dear @amitmalviya Some forces are trying to bring this country into disrepute through the movie "The Kerala Story" by spreading false information
