Mangaluru: The Ayyappa Seva Trust of Maroli on Friday submitted a complaint to deputy commissioner Sasikanth Senthil seeking action against those who distorted an Ayyappa devotional song to suit their political campaign.

Trust president Jayakumar submitted a complaint to the DC seeking action against Mangaluru City North MLA BA Mohiuddin Bava, who allegedly used a distorted version of Ayyappa devotional song for his political campaign.

“MLA BA Mohiuddin Bava has distorted an Ayyappa Swamy devotional song for his political gains and thereby ridiculed the god and culture.

He has hurt the religious sentiments of Hindus by doing so. Hence, an inquiry should be conducted and suitable action should be taken against those who are behind the incident,” Jayakumar stated in his complaint.

Trust members also have submitted the copy of a CD containing the song.
