Doordarshan should withdraw plan to air Kerala Story, demands Pinarayi Vijayan

Congress leader and Kerala Leader of Opposition V D Satheesan also demanded that the Union government desist from the decision to telecast the film.

“DD should not be used for the political gains of the BJP. By telecasting the movie, the Modi Government wants to create cracks in Kerala’s secular society,” he said.

In a statement, the ruling CPI(M) also asked the public broadcaster to withdraw its decision to telecast the movie. The party asked it not to stand with the “BJP’s attempt to polarise” Kerala’s secular society.
