“They are spreading false propaganda by depicting even marriages conducted with mutual consent as examples of communalism and forced religious conversions,” Vijayan said. He emphasised that Kerala is known for its harmony and absence of communal riots. It is under threat from forces hostile to its peaceful coexistence. Calling these groups “enemies of the state,” he warned that they are attempting to destabilise the region’s peace through such films.

“We must unite to reject attempts to portray Kerala, a land renowned for religious harmony, sustainable development, and law and order, as a hub of terrorism. It is our collective responsibility to protect Kerala’s secular foundations from false propaganda, upholding the values of secularism and brotherhood,” Vijayan added.
