The went on to say "The public is already aware of what director Sudipto Sen told the media regarding the movie's subject matter. It is obvious that Kerala is being disparaged and insulted in the film on a worldwide scale. This is a plan to spread the sectarian seeds that Modi has sowed in order to advance his political ambitions. Kerala will band together and fight against this intentional attempt to sow division and hostility between religions. The history of this state is as follows.
He concluded by saying that the exceedingly risky strategy of dividing individuals based on their religious beliefs had to be abandoned. "The Sangh Parivar will never comprehend what humanity means. Do not believe that spreading the venom of communalism will split Kerala in two, he added.
