He said, "I have made a fact-based film. I ask the PM and the Home Minister to take cognizance of this matter. Cases of murder, rape and exodus of Hindus are increasing in West Bengal. I have done a lot of research. The whole film is based on facts. Once I go to West Bengal, I will not come back. I am being falsely implicated in the case. They have implicated me in such sections as if I am a criminal or a terrorist. However, I have completed all the necessary preparations for the movie, which is scheduled to release by August. I have to see that the film is released. ”
Reports say that The Diary of West Bengal movie has also shown the growing influence of Rohingya Muslims and Bangladeshi fundamentalists in Bengal. After the trailer of the film, the complaint has come because it was shown that this illegal infiltration is supported by the state government. The trailer also mentions the incident of 2013 when the houses of 200 Hindus were set on fire. Along with this, it was also shown how Mamata Banerjee is against the implementation of CAA and NRC in the state.
