Row over lyrics of Kannada film

Staff Correspondent

BELLARY: Even as the controversy over the book "Anudeva Horaganavanu" is yet to settle, another controversy has been raised by activists of the district unit of Hindu Jagarana Vedike over the lyrics of a song in the yet-to-be released Kannada film Preeti Eke Bhoomimelide.

Anil Naidu of the vedike told presspersons that the lyrics of one of the songs in the film "Sullu Sullu" has hurt the sentiments of the Hindus as it reportedly mentions that there was no Rama, Hanumantha, Sita, Ravana and also that Harishchandra had not spoken the truth.

Mr. Naidu said that the vedike would oppose the organising of the three-day urs of Vannurvali, a sufi-saint, at Hampi, from June 10th.
