BJP and various Hindu organizations here on Monday sought immediate action against a video channel in the social media for allegedly posting derogatory remarks about Lord Muruga. In a memorandum to District Collector K Rajamani, representatives of the party's district unit and the outfits alleged a man in his YouTube channel "Karuppar Koottam" made denigrating remarks about "Kandha Sashti Kavacham", sung in praise of Lord Muruga.

They said Hindus can no longer tolerate such 'slanders' against their God and religion. Members of the BJP, led by Coimbatore Urban district secretary C R Nandakumar, and leaders of Hindu Munnetra Kazhagam and Vivekananda Peravai demanded stringent action, including arrest, against YouTuber for his "denigrating remarks", which they said could foment communal trouble.
