Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has expressed concern over the cyber attacks targeting the film 'Empuraan,' starring Mohanlal and directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran. In a social media post, Vijayan highlighted the atmosphere of fear allegedly created by the Sangh Parivar, stating it poses a significant threat to freedom of expression.
The Democratic Youth Federation of India, the youth wing of CPM, is organising a protest in Thiruvananthapuram in support of the movie and against the propaganda directed at it. The event is being held at Manaveeyam, a popular venue for social and cultural activities.
The Congress party has accused the Bharatiya Janata Party of exhibiting intolerance towards the film. AICC General Secretary K.C. Venugopal highlighted that while films like 'The Accidental Prime Minister' and 'Emergency' were critical of the Congress, they were accepted by the BJP. He emphasized the importance of freedom of expression, stating that films often engage with contemporary politics, which may favor some and criticize others. Venugopal questioned the BJP's selective intolerance, suggesting that the party should introspect on its stance towards films that critique its ideology.
