Kochi: Love Jihad is prevalent in Kerala where many gullible girls are falling prey to it, a Christian priest of Idukki Diocese has said, media reports said.
Justifying the screening of “The Kerala Story”, for school students, Fr Jins Karakkat said the film was shown to create awareness among the students of classes 10 to 12 as part of educating the youngsters about the dangers behind love affairs, reports quoting Fr Jins Karakkat, chairman, Idukki Diocese Media Commission, said.
The students were asked to review the film after conducting discussion within them. Copies of a book on the matter were distributed among the students.
The national broadcaster Doordarshan had shown the film the other day despite widespread opposition from those including Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and Opposition leader V D Satheeshan.
