‘The Kerala Story’ will remain tax-free in Madhya Pradesh, says Mishra
Bhopal, May 11 (PTI) Amid a controversy over the Congress’ claim that the Madhya Pradesh government has withdrawn the tax exemption to the movie ‘The Kerala Story’, state home minister and government spokesman Narottam Mishra on Thursday asserted that the film “was tax-free and will remain tax-free in the state”.
“There is no confusion on the issue. I request all cinema hall owners not to remain in any confusion. ‘The Kerala Story’ film was made tax-free in the state and will remain tax-free in Madhya Pradesh. Therefore, they should not believe in any viral or fake order, as Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan had announced it (making the film tax-free),” Mishra told reporters here.
The Madhya Pradesh Congress on Wednesday claimed the Shivraj Singh Chouhan government had rolled back its decision to give tax-free status to the controversial Bollywood film ‘The Kerala Story’ in the state.
