Amidst a controversy around film 'The Kerala Story', Prime Minister Narendra Modi alleged that the Congress is trying to oppose the film and 'support terror elements'.
PM Modi, currently campaigning in Bellary for the upcoming elections in Karnataka, said, "The movie ‘The Kerala story’ is trying to expose the consequences of terrorism in a society, especially in a state like Kerala which is beautiful land of hardworking, talented and intellectual people. The Congress party is now trying to ban the film and support the terror elements. It only knows to ban things and completely ignore development. The party even has a problem with me chanting ‘Jai Bajarang Bali’"
He further said that the film tried to expose the new form of terrorism in the society. “Terrorism has taken a new form now. Apart from using weapons and bombs, they are working towards making the society hollow from inside out. 'The Kerala Story' movie has exposed this new face of terrorism. The Congress has kneeled down before the terror outfits when in power. We have suffered because of the violence for very long and the Congress never protected this country from terrorism. Can the Congress protect Karnataka?” he asked.
