Pinarayi Vijayan Slams RSS Over Empuraan Controversy, Calls It a “Violation of Democratic Rights”

Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has strongly defended the Malayalam film L2: Empuraan amid backlash from right-wing groups, calling the ongoing controversy an attack on democratic rights and freedom of expression. The film, starring Mohanlal and directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran, has faced criticism from RSS-affiliated groups and the BJP, who accuse it of promoting an "anti-Hindu agenda" by referencing the 2002 Gujarat riots.
