The case against Indian rapper Hirandas Murali (aka Vedan) has become a point of contention for dominating the left front, with CPI (M) Kerala secretary MV Govindan leaving his weight behind the rapper. Vedan is a feeling among young people with sub-themed sub-themes in his songs.

Mr Govendan requested an investigation into the “hazarded arrest” because he possessed the teeth considered a leopard, a wildlife trophy, worn as part of the necklace. He praised Vedan’s song and said that the hasty in which he booked his hasty display in this case was unfounded.

Govendan said: “The party has no doubt registered cases in cases against Vidan.

Regarding police essays against Vedan allegedly possess Ganja, Govindan said the singer had spoken out against drug use. Despite the small amounts being caught and others were with him, Vadan admitted his guilt and admitted it was wrong. Mr Govindan recognized the government action in this regard, “It’s a good thing.”

Mr. Govindan praised Vedan’s unique writing, music and singing style, which showed that he should allow him to correct his mistakes and be recognized as a talented singer. Regarding the case of the Wildlife Trophy, Mr. Govendan pointed out that Vadan claimed it was a gift and he did not know that it was illegal to own it. “The serious cases against him seem to be disproportionate. Let the court decide,” Govindan said.

Forest Minister Ak Saseendran also tried to downplay the case and said scientific inspections were needed to confirm whether the seized items were indeed leopards. “The association expects maturity to handle such cases,” said Mr. Saseendran, who defended earlier.

Mr Saseendran said it was in this case that officials in the forest department had a responsibility to respect public sentiment. He added that a departmental investigation will be conducted on the entire plot.
