Sharmila condemns police ‘high-handedness’ on YC activists

Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) president Y.S. Sharmila has reacted sharply to the police personnel using force against the Youth Congress and NSUI leaders protesting at Sattenapalli in Palnadu district on February 16 (Friday).

Taking to “X” (formerly Twitter), Ms. Sharmila asked if the duty of the Police Department was to protect the common man or to play into the hands of the ruling party. She alleged that the Youth Congress and NSUI volunteers protesting in support of their demand for a ‘Mega DSC’ in front of the house of Minister Ambati Rambabu were kicked and attacked by the YSR Congress Party “goons”.

Strongly condemning the attack, she demanded immediate intervention by the DGP and suspension of the police personnel involved in the incident.
