Hyderabad, July 09: Giving a set back to the South Indian actress Sai Pallavi, the Telangana High Court has rejected the appeal of the actress to allow her to defy the notice issued by Hyderabad's Sultanabazar police for her statement on the Kashmiri Genocide.
Notably, Sai Pallavi in her plea argued that the complaint made against her was illegitimate and arbitrary. However, a bench headed by Telangana High Court Justice Lalitha Kanneganti denied to interfere and ordered her to appear before the police. A bench rejected the plea brought by Sai Pallavi.
The police issued the notice in response to a complaint filed by Akhil, a Bajrang Dal Leader. In his complaint, the Bajrang Dal leader alleged that she made statements in an interview equating cow vigilantism to genocide in Kashmir. Following his complaint, Police summoned her to appear before the police.
For unreserved, during an interview with the news channel, Sai Pallavi equated the horrible genocide of Kashmiri Hindus to isolated incidences of violence against cattle smugglers in an attempt to claim she is ‘politically neutral.’
Pallavi stated in the interview that she feels the deaths of Kashmiri Hindus and the attack on Muslim cattle smugglers were the same and that both should not have occurred. Speaking about The Kashmir Files, a film by filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri, Pallavi said, “In Kashmir Files movie, they showed how Kashmiri Pandits were killed.” She drew a parallel between the killings of Kashmiri Hindus, the brutal attacks on the Hindu community in the valley, and the attack on cattle smugglers by locals.
She said, “But recently in covid time, some Muslim guy taking a cow in a vehicle was attacked and forced to chant Jai Shri Ram slogans. So if you are talking about religious conflict, what is the difference between the two incidents? That happened then, this happened now. What is the difference? The thing is, we should stay fair and just. If we are not good humans, we won’t be just. If you are just and stand with justice, all will be ‘neutral’ around you.”
