“The Congress party and I stand firmly beside YS Sharmila,” said Rahul Gandhi (File)
New Delhi:
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi expressed his condemnation on Saturday towards the threats made against his party colleague from Andhra Pradesh, YS Sharmila, labeling it as a disgraceful act.
“Insulting and threatening women, a vile and cowardly act, is unfortunately the most common weapon of the weak,” Rahul Gandhi stated in a post on X.
“The Congress party and I stand firmly beside YS Sharmilaji and Suneethaji and strongly condemn this disgraceful attack,” he added.
AICC general secretary KC Venugopal highlighted that certain elements in Andhra Pradesh are clearly disturbed by the overwhelming support YS Sharmila and the Congress are receiving in the southern state with each passing day.
“The death threats and trolling against Sharmilaji and Suneethaji are highly deplorable, and the entire party firmly supports them against these pathetic attempts to tarnish their reputation and the great legacy of YS Rajashekhar Reddy garu,” KC Venugopal stated in a post on X.
Former Union minister MM Pallam Raju expressed his sadness on the microblogging platform, stating, “It is disheartening to witness the ugly online trolling of @realyssharmila, the AP Congress chief, who has adopted the ideology embraced by her late father, Dr YSR, the popular CM of AP. Similarly, Sri YS Vivekananda Reddy’s daughter Suneetha has been subjected to this pathetic abuse.” MM Pallam Raju also shared a media report that mentioned Suneetha Narreddy, the daughter of former Andhra Pradesh minister YS Vivekananda Reddy, filing a complaint at the Gachibowli cyber crime police station in Hyderabad against a man for abusive and threatening Facebook posts.
YS Sharmila staged a demonstration at the Andhra Bhavan in Delhi on Friday to protest against the non-conferment of special category status to Andhra Pradesh and the failure to fulfill bifurcation promises.
She protested before the BR Ambedkar statue at the Andhra Bhavan and was accompanied by Manickam Tagore and senior Congress leaders from Andhra Pradesh.
