Jana Sena Party (JSP) president Pawan Kalyan on June 15 (Thursday) alleged that those who dared to question the State government on its failures were being subjected to harassment, or labelled as “mentally unsound” to suppress their voices.
Addressing the media on the sidelines of the ‘Varahi yatra’ here, Mr. Pawan Kalyan said, “The tale of K. Sudhakar (55), a doctor, is a grim reminder of how the government hushed up his voice for highlighting the lack of protective equipment for doctors in the government hospital during the COVID-19 period. He was labelled as mentally unsound for questioning the failure of the government. There are numerous such cases reported in the recent years in the State.”
“Jana Vani, a grievance cell of the party, was born out of a grievance received from a girl from Tadepalli. The girl, a ward volunteer, had met me with regard to a grievance pertaining to the demolition of houses for the Chief Minister’s Tadepalli residence. A few days after sharing her grievance with me, her brother was eliminated. People with a progressive mindset must not choose to be silent,” said Mr. Pawan Kalyan
