A woman BJP leader from Palakkad has filed a formal complaint against popular rapper and songwriter Vedan (Hirandas Murali), accusing him of defaming Prime Minister Narendra Modi and promoting caste-based division through his music.VS Minimol, a Municipal Councillor and Chairperson of the Development Committee at the Palakkad Municipality, has written to the Union Home Ministry and the National Investigation Agency (NIA), urging them to take action against the rapper.
She alleged that one of Vedan’s songs contains defamatory remarks about the Prime Minister and inflammatory language aimed at “dividing the Hindu community along caste lines”.
“The artist has made unsubstantiated, disrespectful, and offensive remarks about the Prime Minister, which not only malign his personal and political image but also undermine the dignity of the highest constitutional office in the country,” Minimol said in the complaint, filed two days ago.
