The Kerala Story: The Supreme Court on Tuesday refused to hear a petition seeking a stay on the release of the film ‘The Kerala Story’.

This film is releasing on Friday i.e. 5th May.

Advocate Pasha said, “This film is the worst example of hate speech. It is purely audio-visual propaganda.” The bench said in its remarks, “There are many types of hate speech. This film has got the certificate and the board has approved it. It is not like someone got on the dais and started talking nonsense. If you want to challenge the release of the film, you should challenge the certificate and that too through the proper forum.”
