Hyderabad: Actor and activist Amala Akkineni condemned the defamatory statements made by Minister Konda Surekha against her husband and actor Nagarjuna. In a strongly worded response, she urged Congress leader Rahul Gandhi restrain the Congress leaders from making such allegations and make the Minister retract her statements.

In her statement, Amala expressed her dismay over the Minister’s remarks, stating that she was shocked to see a woman Minister turn into a demon, conjuring evil fictions as allegations, preying on decent citizens as fuel for a political war. “Madam Minister, do you rely and believe people with no decency to feed you utterly scandalous stories about my husband (Nagarjuna) without an iota of shame or truth? This is really shameful. If leaders lower themselves into the gutter and behave like criminals, what will happen to our country?” she asked.
