Information and Broadcasting Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Friday (December 13, 2024) said that the Congress has “no respect for the creative industry”, and that the arrest of actor Allu Arjun proved it yet again.

“The mishap at Sandhya Theatre was a clear case of poor arrangements by the State and local administration. Now, to deflect that blame, they are indulging in such publicity stunts,” Mr. Vaishnaw said on X.

He said: “the Telangana Government should assist those affected and punish those making the arrangements that day instead of continuously attacking film personalities. It is also sad to see this becoming a norm in the one year Congress has been in power there.”
