Amid a row over Sudipto Sen's 'The Kerala Story', BJP's Amit Malviya cited former Kerala chief minister VS Achuthanandan who in 2010 said, "Their move is to make India... Kerala, a Muslim-majority country after 20 years.." Sharing the video of his statement which at that time too stirred a row, Malviya said Achuthanandan was a hardcore communist, 'not someone who can be accused of parroting the saffron worldview".
"Not just him, even Congress CM Oommen Chandy, who was Kerala CM between 2004-2006 and then again from 2011-2016, is on record on the floor of Kerala Assembly admitting to more than 7,000 conversions to Islam between 2006-12," Malviya wrote adding that The Kerala Story is a grim reminder "of what lies ahead, if we don't act now".
