TG Ministers justify Allu Arjun’s arrest

The Congress Ministers of Telangana defended the arrest of Telugu film ‘Pushpa’ fame Allu Arjun.
Transport Minister Ponnam Prabhakar said that the Congress Government had always encouraged cinema and the arts.
“Why should we harbour anger at cinema people and Allu Arjun? If the government is angry with the cinema industry then will it make Dil Raju the Chairman of the Telangana Film Development Corporation,” Ponnam said on Saturday.
He said the BRS has lost its common sense along with power and that it is politicising all issues. BRS leaders should be aware of the law, he added. He said that KTR who did not respond when a woman died in the Sandhya theatre incident, has no right to speak about the arrest of Allu Arjun.
He asked KTR whether the BRS Government had filed murder cases against KTR when Sircilla handloom workers died.
He said that if a case was filed against them then they could file a case against the Congress Government now.
Panchayat Raj Minister Seethakka said they don’t have any enmity against Allu Arjun and that action was taken as ‘per the law.’
She said that actor Chiranjeevi and Allu Arjun’s father-in-law are Congress activists and that Chief Minister Revanth Reddy has ties with their family. However, the police acted as ‘per law,’ she added.
Stating that Allu Arjun is his relative, Congress MLA Danam Nagender said that he was pained by the arrest of Allu Arjun and the developments that took place after that. However, it is not proper for the opposition to say that the Congress government made the police arrest Allu Arjun. He said the arrest of Allu Arjun was an ‘unfortunate’ incident.
