Hyderabd ( Journalist File ) :Union Minister of State for Home Affairs, Bandi Sanjay, has expressed strong disapproval over the arrest of actor Allu Arjun in connection with the tragic incident at Sandhya Theatre.

He expressed anger over the perceived lack of respect for the actor.

Sanjay praised Allu Arjun for bringing international recognition to Indian cinema, asserting that such a prominent figure deserved to be treated with greater respect. While acknowledging the tragic loss of a woman in the stampede, Sanjay blamed the incident on the failures of the Congress government, alleging that it was the government's lack of proper arrangements that led to the chaos.

The Minister emphasized that the negligence displayed in this situation could not be overlooked and called for Allu Arjun to be treated with dignity, not as a criminal. He further stated that the actor should be shown the respect he deserves.
