Actor and Jana Sena leader Pawan Kalyan has demanded action against those who attacked a Dalit woman in Vizag district.

"People seek an explanation from AP Govt on the Visakhapatnam incident where a helpless woman was brutally assaulted by some political leaders( as the reports say they are from TDP). I was deeply disturbed by what I heard and saw. Lack of stringent action by police and Govt on perpetrators will send wrong indications in public. In situations like this, I show restraint not to incite emotions as I had seen the repercussions of Karamchedu and Chunduru incidents," he tweeted.

"Issue being extremely sensitive in nature, any kind of statement without forethought would create deep fissures between harmonious coexistence of communities. If the Govt doesn`t respond in the manner it has to, then the outcome for sure will not be a pleasant one. Think of the Rohit Vemula incident; how it shook up the entire nation and request the authorities not to be mute spectators," he added.

"If I come and address the issue personally, it would put a tremendous load on authorities in every way possible. Hence I plead Govt to make sure that helpless woman honour be restored and justice be done. In such incidents atrocities done by a few individuals on one helpless victim or a group will get a caste colour though the rest of the community has nothing to do with it. Crimes done by individuals on others will eventually be portrayed as community clashes," he reflected.

"Apart from the Govt and authorities, I also plead the community leaders of that particular caste (where the perpetrators hail from )should also address the issue & condemn it in public for the sake of peaceful coexistence and general well-being of society," he appealed.

"And I also request Media to play a constructive and responsible approach than a sensational approach," he further noted.

"If the individual rights guaranteed by the constitution are being violated by any individual or group shouldn`t be tolerated and if the authorities want to do the spectator job in such situations then people will take law into their own hands. I also request the commissioner of Police and Collector of Visakhapatnam to stand by that helpless woman for speedy justice. I will also send members of Janasena team from Visakhapatnam to meet the victim and understand what exactly happened and to pursue the local authorities for much-needed justice. And the NRI women who hail from different communities from Europe and US had sent me a plethora of messages in support of that helpless woman," Power Star said.

"In broad daylight, a group of men attacking a woman ... whichever community she could be & whatever the reason could be .. is not at all justified. Both ruling TDP - BJP & opposition YSRCP instead of mud slinging on each other they should come together & find a way to discuss & debate in AP assembly to avert future situations like this," he remarked.
