A case has been filed against Vijay Deverakonda under the SC/ST Act for his statements about tribal individuals at the Retro event.
On June 17, police filed a case against the actor under the SC/ST Act for remarks made in April, which compared the recent Pahalgam terror attack to tribal disputes from 500 years ago.
Controversial remarks chase Vijay Deverakonda, as an SC/ST case has been filed against him
“The actor made comments in April. However, based on a complaint, a case under the SC/ST Act was booked against him on 17 June.” The fans, who thought that this issue was over, are shocked as an SC/ST case was filed on Vijay Deverakonda.
Nenavath Ashok Kumar Naik, or Ashok Rathod, filed the complaint as the state president of the Joint Action Committee of Tribal Communities.
Vijay Deverakonda addressed the Pahalgam terror incident during Suriya’s Retro event.
“The solution to what is happening in Kashmir is also to educate them (terrorists) and ensure they don’t get brainwashed. What will they achieve? Kashmir belongs to India, and Kashmiris are ours. India doesn’t even need to attack Pakistan because Pakistanis themselves are fed up with their government and will attack them if this continues.
Asalu 500 years back tribals kokkutunnatu, veelu buddi lekunda, minimum common sense lekunda chese panulu.” (They behave like tribals did 500 years ago, fighting without common sense).
Following criticism on social media, the actor expressed remorse and emphasized his respect for all communities, especially the Scheduled Tribes.
