CENSOR BOARD'S CRUEL JOKE

CENTRAL BOARD OF FILM CERTIFICATION DENIES NOD TO THE FILM 1921 - PUZHA MUTHAL PUZHA VARE, DIRECTED BY REPUTED FILMMAKER RAMASIMHAN (FORMERLY ALI AKBAR) ON HINDU GENOCIDE OF MALABAR

- T SATISAN

BJP leader and reputed filmmaker Ramasimhan (formerly Ali Akbar) was excited to venture into producing 1921 – Puzha Muthal Puzha Vare (1921 – River to River), a Malayalam movie on Hindu massacre of 1921, engineered in the name of Khilafat Movement. He resolved to take up this initiative when CPI(M)-led Kerala Government declared projects to glorify notorious Muslim rioter Variyankkunathu Kunjahammad Haji, who led the inhuman massacre of thousands of Hindus including women and children, conversion of thousands of Hindus into Islam, sexual abuse of thousands of women and desecration and demolition of hundreds of Hindus temples, as a freedom fighter and portrayed the anti-Hindu Khilafat movement as a farmer’s agitation which turned to freedom struggle against the British.

But Ramasimhan’s dream project still remains a mere dream, thanks to the unreasonable and rude hurdles and hassles created by the Censor Board. Khilafat was the worst Hindu genocide which Dakshin Bharat has ever witnessed. Congress-led (Opposition) United Democratic Front was all smiles to support the ruling LDF initiatives, due to the Muslim vote bank politics prevailing in the State. And, a pro-Jihadi film personality came out to declare that he was going to make a film picturing Haji as a freedom fighter.
