Vijay Deverakonda is facing legal trouble, having been booked under the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, following allegations that he made offensive comments which reportedly offended the tribal community about a month ago.
Vijay Deverakonda booked under SC/ST act over alleged offensive remarks on tribal communities
The complaint was filed by Nenavath Ashok Kumar Naik, the State President of the Joint Action Committee of Tribal Communities. He alleged that Deverakonda made derogatory remarks during a pre-release event for his upcoming film Retro.
Last month, another individual also filed a case against the actor over the same remarks. The petitioner claimed that Vijay Deverakonda, while speaking about the Pahalgam terror attack, compared the incident to conflicts between tribal communities that took place centuries ago.
At the ‘Retro’ event last month, Vijay Deverakonda stated: “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. Two years ago, I shot for Kushi in Kashmir. I have such good memories with them (the locals).”
He also mentioned that the neighbouring country faces difficulties in providing basic necessities to its citizens.
The actor said, “Pakistan can’t even look after their own, who don’t have proper electricity and water. What do they want to do here? India doesn’t even need to attack Pakistan because Pakistanis themselves are fed up with their government and will attack them if this continues. They behave like tribals did 500 years ago with the way they fight. We should stand united as people and love each other. We always need to move forward as people and stay united. Education is super key. Let’s all be happy and keep our parents happy; only then can we progress.”
