  "summary": "Tushar Gandhi, great-grandson of Mahatma Gandhi, has expressed disappointment with the Keralam government over its reluctance to fight the union government's decision to deny permission to 31 films selected for the IDSFFK. The festival took place in Kozhikode on September 26, 2026, and Gandhi pointed out that the State government had \"weakened its freedom\" by this action. He urged Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan and Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala to show courage and screen the films, and appealed for the Congress party in the State to hold screenings all over Keralam. The Union Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has granted permission for the screening of 23 of those films, following a notice issued by the Kerala High Court based on a petition filed by the Kerala State Chalachitra Academy.",
