BJP leader Vijeesh Vettam was yesterday (April 1) suspended from the party for petitioning the Kerala high court, seeking a ban on the screening of Malayalam film L2: Empuraan. The party has described his petition as being an act of indiscipline.
Vijeesh had claimed in his petition to the high court yesterday that the film screening could incite communal tension due to the reference to the 2002 Gujarat riots. The court refused to stay the film’s screening.
