Chief Minister Prof Dr. Manik Saha has urged students in the state to be cautious of 'Love Jihad' after watching the movie 'The Kerala Story' directed by Sudipta Sen.
The CM has also emphasized the need for young people to be aware of the concept of Love Jihad as depicted in the film.
He said that the movie has tried to show the real picture of the whole of India, not just one incident of the state of Kerala.
“Along with the youth of the entire country, the students of Tripura should also watch this movie and be careful about Love Jihad”, he said.
Chief Minister Prof. Dr. Manik Saha said this after watching 'The Kerala Story' at Rupasi Multiplex along with all the members of the state cabinet, MLAs and office bearers of Bharatiya Janata Party today.
He said, “Till now we have heard the word 'Love Jihad', in reality, how the plot is going on to recruit simple girls into militant groups by adopting this Love Jihad, it has been beautifully depicted in this film. It is impossible to understand without seeing”.
The Chief Minister said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is working for the integrity of the country.
He criticized those who hold a negative opinion of the film, stating that the West Bengal government banned it, but such a ban would not prevent people from watching it.
“Many people still do not understand why the integrity of the country is necessary. Why should one be aware of Love Jihad? Many people are having negative opinions about this film from a narrow point of view. In this regard, the Chief Minister said that the West Bengal government is going to be a Bengal story in the coming days”, said CM Dr. Saha.
He said that it was already known that the film will be stopped in West Bengal. But there will be no benefit in banning this film; people will definitely watch the film.
Minister Ratan Lal Nath, Pranajit Singha Roy, Sushanta Chowdhury, Tinku Roy, Sudhangshu Das, Mayor of Agartala Municipal Corporation Dipak Majumdar, MLA Ratan Chakraborty and other MLAs and office bearers of the BJP party were with the Chief Minister.
