Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan has sparked a storm in Andhra Pradesh by alleging that human trafficking is rampant in the state. He further claimed that the volunteer system implemented by the YCP government is the main cause behind this issue.
These statements have faced significant flak and criticism from volunteers across the state. In response, the AP Mahila (Women’s) Commission has taken action by issuing summon notices to Pawan Kalyan. Vasireddy Padma, the chairperson of the commission, has demanded an apology from Pawan Kalyan and stated, “Either he must provide a proper explanation for his comments or apologize to the volunteers who have selflessly worked in the state for the last four years. Otherwise, our commission will pursue the matter and hold him accountable.”
Meanwhile, volunteers have staged protests against Pawan Kalyan throughout the state. In Vizag, they organized a highway seizure, resulting in a massive traffic jam. They are demanding an unconditional apology from Pawan Kalyan and warn that he will face consequences if he fails to do so.
This controversy has ignited a heated debate across Andhra Pradesh, with opinions divided regarding the validity of Kalyan’s claims and the appropriateness of his remarks. The allegations of widespread human trafficking and its alleged connection to the volunteer system have raised concerns among the public, triggering further discussions about the government’s effectiveness in addressing social issues.
