Visakhapatnam: Pawan Kalyan questions restrictions on him, continues attack on volunteer system

Visakhapatnam : “The police have been imposing several restrictions on me but those who are committing crimes continue to walk away scot-free,” pointed out Jana Sena Party chief K Pawan Kalyan.

After paying respects to a portrait of the elderly woman who was reportedly murdered in her apartment recently at Pendurthi, Pawan Kalyan lamented that law and order in Andhra Pradesh have gone for a toss.

There is no security even for a MP’s family in Visakhapatnam and even as his family members were confined to a place for days, Pawan Kalyan expressed concern that the MP has no courage to speak out as he’s backing the kidnapper. “Such courage-less political leaders are ruling the state now. As long as votes are bought, courage continues to elude,” opined Pawan Kalyan.

Referring to the law and order maintenance in AP, Pawan Kalyan said, “There is no freedom for the police personnel. Law and order would be maintained in the state only when the police have powers to exercise their duty without any element of fear. Unfortunately, the ruling party leaders themselves are indulging in crimes and restricting the police from taking any action.”

There is no safety and security for girl children and women in the state, more so in Visakhapatnam as Noble Peace Laureate Kailash Satyarthi stated that more child trafficking has been registered from AP and Visakhapatnam tops in it, Pawan Kalyan lamented. “Please take good care of your children and the elderly at home. In case you find any suspicious activity, bring it to the notice of the police, party leaders, upload the issue on social media platforms and keep a close watch on your family members,” he cautioned.

Further, Pawan Kalyan appreciated the police department for responding swiftly and tracing the accused in the case of elderly woman Vara Lakshmi, who was reportedly killed by a volunteer in Pendurthi.

Earlier, Pawan Kalyan interacted with K. Srinivas, son of the deceased woman, and other family members at his residence. He assured them that the JSP would continue to stand in support of them.

Describing Visakhapatnam as the most peaceful city, Pawan Kalyan expressed concern over the growing incidents of crime taking place in the city. “In Visakhapatnam alone, three crime incidents involving volunteers have come to light in recent days. There might be several such incidents that would not have seen the light of the day. Volunteer system was introduced by the YSRCP to promote ‘Navaratnalu.’ But at what cost?” he questioned.

Pawan Kalyan demanded police verification for volunteers as there are complaints landing from Narsipatnam that single women have been targeted by the volunteers.

Later, after inspecting the lands of the Convention of Baptist Churches of Northern Circars (CBCNC), he mentioned that there is no security of properties in North Andhra and the Chief Minister will keep visiting the courts as soon as the government changes in AP. The JSP chief alleged that the lands of Christian and Hindu temples are also being occupied across the state. He said the authorities concerned were granting permissions against the rules for illegal activities. The JSP chief stated that his party would fight against the land grabbing and asserted that people’s property belongs to the people alone.
