GHDS condemns vulgar lyrics about Maha Lakshmi by Baby Skello

See full statement from the Guyana Hindu Dharmic Sabha:

The Hindu Community is outraged and deeply offended by the vulgar and disrespectful lyrics and content within artiste Baby Skello’s new video.

His obscene lyrics gravely disparage Maha Lakshmi who is revered and worshipped by Hindus globally.

Guyana Hindu Dharmic Sabha calls on the Ethnic Relations Commission and the Guyana Police Force to take condign action against this artiste. He should be held accountable for his actions and also publicly apologize to the Hindu Community and withdraw the song.

While the Hindu community is peaceful and respects all faiths and people across our country, the attacks on our religion and practice have not gone unnoticed. The Hindu community strongly rejects this distasteful and completely unwarranted narrative.

We are also deeply concerned about the continued disrespect to women being portrayed by performers in the name of music and art, recognizing its impact in driving harassment and violence against women and girls.

We call on all Guyanese and the wider community to join us in condemning this artiste and his disgusting song and video.
