Tadepalli, Feb 21: YSRCP leader Pothina Mahesh strongly condemned the inhumane trolling of the young girl from Vijayawada by TDP and Janasena supporters on social media after she expressed admiration for former Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan.
Mahesh criticized the disturbing trend of targeting innocent children and questioned if such actions would be acceptable if directed at their own families.
He denounced the Deputy Speaker’s involvement in the trolling and slammed certain media outlets for eroding journalistic values. Mahesh also condemned the psychological distress caused to the child and accused Janasena’s social media wing of spreading misinformation by altering the child’s identity online.
Highlighting past incidents, including hidden cameras in university girls' bathrooms, Mahesh questioned the silence of TDP and Janasena supporters on such issues.
He demanded a POCSO case against those responsible and urged the DGP and Home Minister to take immediate action to protect children from such harassment.
