Thakur also congratulated Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan for making the right decision by exempting the film from taxes.
Announcing tax-free statue to the movie on saturday, CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan said, “We have already made a law against religious conversion in Madhya Pradesh. Since this film creates awareness, everyone should watch this film. Parents, children and daughters should watch it. That’s why the Madhya Pradesh government is giving tax-free status to the movie ‘The Kerala Story’.”
The Adah Sharma-starrer The Kerala Story centers around alleged religious indoctrination in Kerala and how Hindu and Christian women are being targeted by radical Islamic clerics. The movie claims that these women were converted to Islam and later sent to countries like Afghanistan, Yemen and Syria “to fight for the cause of Islam”.
