Jr NTR today issued a video statement against the personal attacks on the wife of Nara Chandrababu Naidu. In his statement, the 'RRR' actor said that respecting women is in our tradition and that abandoning the same will spell disaster.

"Our language denotes our character. It's usual in politics to criticize others. The criticisms have to be about people's issues. They shouldn't be personal. They shouldn't be abusive against individuals. Yesterday's incident in the AP Assembly has hurt me," Tarak began saying.

He added, "When we resort to personal attacks, especially in obnoxious language against women, it will lead to savage rule. It's in our blood and tradition to respect women. We have to pass this tradition to our next generation. We shouldn't destroy it. It will be a great disservice to the next generation."

Jr NTR further said that he was not talking as a Nandamuri family member. "I am talking as a son, a husband, a father, a citizen of India, and a Telugu man. I request the politicians to stop this uncivilized culture of abusing women. We have to be exemplars for the next generation," the actor signed off.
