Church screens 'Kerala Story' to fight 'love jihad'

After the Idukki diocese, now the Thamarassery diocese of the Syro-Malabar Catholic Church is arranging a screening of the controversial movie The Kerala Story.

The Kerala Catholic Youth Movement (KCYM) unit of the Thamarassery diocese has taken the initiative to screen the movie during the vacation classes for students named ‘Suvisheshotsavam’ on April 12 (Saturday).

“We have made the decision to counter the attack on the Idukki diocese by vested interests. There is no point in all the protests against the screening. It is not a banned movie. Also, it is freely available in OTT platforms,” said Father George Vellakkakudiyil, director of KCYM, Diocese of Thamarassery.
