Thiruvananthapuram,2/5: Jamiat Ulama-I-Hind has approached the Supreme Court seeking a direction to the Centre and others not to allow the screening or release of the movie entitled The Kerala Story at theatres, OTT (Over The Top) platforms and other such avenues.
This comes on a day when a bench of Justices K M Joseph and B V Nagarathna declined to entertain an interlocutary application argued by senior advocate Kapil Sibal and advocate M Nizamuddin Pasha in a pending PIL by Qurban Ali contending the movie was a part of hate speech.
The court noted the film has already been cleared by the Censor board
