Poojitha Questions Coalition Leaders’ Silence Over Alleged Online Abuse
YSRC women’s wing leader seeks a probe into alleged obscene remarks targeting Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy’s family during an X Spaces discussion.
YSRC state women’s wing working president Kakani Poojitha demanded that Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, Deputy Chief Minister K. Pawan Kalyan, Minister N. Lokesh and home minister Vangalapudi Anitha respond to alleged obscene remarks targeting former chief minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy’s family during an X Spaces discussion.
Speaking after submitting a complaint to Vedayapalem police along with other women leaders on Sunday, she said evidence identifying the organisers and participants had been furnished. She demanded a thorough investigation and stringent action against those responsible.
Poojitha said political criticism was acceptable, but personal attacks and obscene remarks against women and their families were unacceptable. Questioning the coalition leaders’ failure to condemn the incident despite media coverage, she demanded that they either take action against those involved or publicly disassociate themselves from the remarks.
She said cyberbullying and online harassment of women should not be encouraged under any circumstances and called for strict legal action irrespective of political affiliations.
