Amid all the hullabaloo over why West Bengal chose to ban the controversial film 'The Kerala Story', the state government on Tuesday submitted its response to the Supreme Court in which it defended its decision of imposing a ban on the screening of the movie.
The WB government argued that the film includes hate speech and it is based on distorted facts, which has the potential to spread communal disharmony and law and order problems in the state.
The government further said that screening of the movie would have resulted in clashes among the extremist groups, creating unrest in the state. The decision was taken keeping in mind that any incidents of hate could be prevented by the same.
