Pawan Kalyan descended in support of Sharmistha

Prior to Geert Wilders, Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan on Saturday appealed to the West Bengal Police to take ‘equitable’ action in the case of social media ‘Content Creator’ Sharmistha Panoli. Sharmistha has been arrested from Gurugram in Haryana for sharing communal videos. The Deputy Chief Minister said that ‘Ishaninda must be condemned’ but secularism should not be used as ‘shield’.

Pawan Kalyan said in a post on ‘X’, ‘Isainda should always be condemned! Secularism is not a shield for some people and a sword for others. It should be two -way. West Bengal Police is watching the nation. Work just for all.

TMC MP makes fun of Sanatan Dharma: Pawan Kalyan

Pawan Kalyan said that Sharmishtha, a student of the law, said ‘sorry and hurting words for some people’ regarding Operation Sindoor. BJP’s ally Janasena Party (JSP) founder Kalyan claimed, ‘He accepted his mistake, removed the video and apologized. The West Bengal Police immediately took action against Sharmistha and took action.

He said that but when the political leader, Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP makes fun of Sanatan Dharma, what happens? When our religion is called ‘dirty religion’, where does the anger go? Where does his apology go? Where is their quick arrest?
