Anurag Thakur said the opposition parties are stooping so low that appeasement politics is more important to them than women's safety in the country.
Reacting to the Bengal government's decision to ban the screening of the movie "The Kerala Story" in the state, Union Minister for Information and Broadcasting Anurag Thakur on Thursday said the opposition parties should decide whether they are standing with the daughters of the country or terrorists.
Mr Thakur said the opposition parties are stooping so low that appeasement politics is more important to them than women's safety in the country.
"Those who are protesting and the opposition must decide whether they are standing with the daughters of the country and the nation's safety or with those responsible for terror. The opposition parties are stooping so low that appeasement politics is more important to them than the safety of the women in the country," Anurag Thakur said.
He further said, "I am not asking other states to make the film tax-free but they should not ban it."
