The Kerala Story film banned in West Bengal
The film The Kerala Story has been banned in West Bengal. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has said that if the film is screened, the peace and order of the state can be disrupted. He has said in the order given to the Chief Secretary that strict action should be taken if anyone is found violating the order.
Mamta Banerjee said in the press conference on Monday – After Kerala, now Bengal will be targeted. I came to know that the files of Bengal are also being prepared. I will speak to the Chief Minister of Kerala and tell him that some CPM people are also in collusion with the BJP. The facts have been tampered with in this film. If this film continues to run in Bengal, then the communal atmosphere of the state may worsen. These people first insulted the people of Kashmir and now they are insulting the people of Kerala.
