Arunodaya Federation Demands Apology for Distorted 'Amma Payilam' Song
Imagine a very important song from a long time ago that helped a group of people fight for their own state.
This song is called 'Amma Payilam Talli Mayamma.'
A group of young people made a short video online that some people think made fun of this important song in a not-so-nice way.
A group called the Arunodaya Cultural Federation is very upset about this.
They say it's like disrespecting the people who fought for the state and even someone important who sang the song.
They want the video taken down and an apology.
They are worried that people are starting to make fun of important old songs that tell stories of struggle.
They want everyone to help protect these special songs.
The Arunodaya Cultural Federation (ACF) is demanding an apology and withdrawal of a social media reel.
The reel is accused of distorting the Telangana migrant song 'Amma Payilam Talli Mayamma' in a vulgar and sarcastic manner.
