On Friday, devotees of Ayyappa Swamy staged protests across the state of Telangana demanding action against atheist Barry Naresh, who used derogatory language against Lord Ayyappa Swamy. Bairi Naresh had made a derogatory statement against Lord Ayyappa Swamy in a public meeting held in the Kodangal constituency two days back.
The video of derogatory comments made by Barry Naresh went viral on social media, drawing heavy criticism from Lord Ayyappa Swamy devotees. Police complaints have also been filed seeking strict action against Barry Naresh for hurting the sentiments of Ayyappa devotees and making obscene remarks against the Hindu god.
The complaint has been filed under section 153A of the Indian Penal Code Section 153A. (IPC). Naresh who is a Dalit leader and head of ‘Bharata Nasthika Samajam’ allegedly remarked negatively about Lord Ayyappa’s birth and made other disparaging statements during a meeting of different Dalit organizations.
The devotees launched a protest in the city of Hyderabad and others hours after the video of the incident went viral over the internet. Reports mention that some of the devotees reached the Hyderabad Police station and demanded action against Bairi Naresh.
Amid the protest, Naresh was also apparently caught and manhandled by Lord Ayyappa Swami devotees in Hyderabad. He was ultimately rescued by the Police. The video of the incident was shared by the local media.
