Allu Arjun News: The BJP has accused Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy of "orchestrating a state-sponsored violence" against actor Allu Arjun. The BJP said that this reflected the "Emergency mindset" of the Congress.
BJP spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari said: "Revanth Reddy is orchestrating a state-sponsored violence and attack on Allu Arjun. He is completely rattled because a neutral star, who believes in free speech, is loved by the people of Telangana and has not toed the line of the Congress Party; he is not working as per the whims and the fancies of the Congress Party."
Slamming the vandalisation at the house of the actor, BJP spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari said: "This is the Emergency mindset of the Congress, which is common in Jawaharlal Nehru who banned and jailed Madru Sultanpuri. Indira Gandhi stopped the songs of Kishore Kumar and now Revanth Reddy is ensuring that his goons attack Allu Arjun. Congress Party does not believe in free speech."
Security has been deployed outside actor Allu Arjun's residence in Jubilee Hills after his house was attacked by miscreants allegedly from Osmania University Joint Action Committee (OU-JAC). Six people were taken into custody but were later granted bail.
According to Sources, Hyderabad police have issued a notice to actor Allu Arjun, asking him to appear before them in connection with the Sandhya theatre incident.
Allu Arjun has been served a notice to appear before the police on Tuesday as part of the ongoing investigation into the stampede during the screening of ‘Pushpa 2’ on December 4. Chikkadpally Police Inspector Raju Naik said that Arjun would have to report at 11 AM.
The ‘Pushpa 2’ actor has previously expressed his willingness to cooperate with the investigation into the December 4 stampede case that claimed the life of a 35-year-old woman at Sandhya Theatre in Hyderabad. The notice follows the release of CCTV footage by Police Commissioner C.V. Anand, detailing the sequence of events leading to the tragedy at Sandhya Theatre in Hyderabad.
