The Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) sharply criticized a beef festival organized by the Students' Federation of India (SFI), a student arm of the ruling Communist Party of India (Marxist). The festival was held as a protest against the forthcoming film 'Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond'.
IUML state general secretary P M A Salam called the beef fest a 'provocative' act by the CPI(M) aimed at wooing Muslim voters. Salam denounced the fest as a 'cheap political gimmick', emphasizing that beef is not exclusive to any community and questioning its association with Muslims.
The beef fest, held by SFI in Thiruvananthapuram, protests a scene in 'Kerala Story 2', according to its trailer, involving force-feeding beef. The movie, directed by Kamakhya Narayan Singh, will be released on February 27. Its predecessor was lauded at the 71st National Film Awards.
