"The teaser claims to be depicting the story of 32,000 women from Kerala who were radicalised to join ISIS terrorist group, which is absolutely rubbish and fallacious. Such dissemination of grossly false information may lead to inconceivable repercussions and unrest in the society and the same will amount to defaming the stet as well," Rajya Sabha MP Brittas wrote in the letter.

He further asserted that this false narrative is being massively spread over social media. This impulsive teaser has sowed the seeds of distrust and perturbation among various sections of people in the state as well as in the country far and wide, said the CPI(M) leader in a letter.

“Such deliberate and sinister plot to outrage the religious feelings and promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion and upsetting the public tranquility and prejudicial to the national-integration are to be dealt with an iron-fist and attracts culpable responsibility as per various criminal Statutes including, but not limited to, Sections 153A, 153B, 295A and 505 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860,” the letter read.
