The YS Jagan government has taken legal action against Janasena chief Pawan Kalyan, claiming he made inappropriate comments during a meeting last year. The case, filed in Guntur court, alleges that Pawan Kalyan’s remarks humiliated volunteers who consider themselves his supporters. The trial is set for March 25.
During a Varahi Yatra in Eluru on July 9, Pawan Kalyan expressed concern about the disappearance of thousands of girls in the state, suggesting the involvement of volunteers. He accused them of sharing information that led to abductions by anti-social forces. The government argues that such allegations hurt the morale of volunteers crucial to implementing government schemes.
The case originates from Pawan’s critique of the government and police’s handling of missing women cases, based on information he claimed to receive from the Central Intelligence Agency. The trial aims to address the government’s accusations of defamation and the impact on volunteer morale.
