Hyderabad, December 23: A day after alleged TRS activists attacked the shooting unit of a movie produced by his firm, noted Telugu actor M Mohan Babu today said he would file a case against K Chandrasekhar Rao for making “inflammatory speeches” against people of Andhra and Rayalaseema regions. “I am filing a case under Section 153 of Indian Penal Code (wantonly giving provocation with intent to cause riot) against TRS president KCR for his inflammatory speeches,” Babu told reporters after meeting Chief Minister K Rosaiah here.
Alleged activists of Telangana Rashtra Samiti had yesterday attacked the film unit of Sri Lakshmi Prasanna Pictures, owned by Mohan Babu, while they were shooting a Telugu movie starring his younger son M Manoj. Strongly condemning the attack, Mohan Babu said he had supported the movement for a unified Andhra Pradesh as he did not want the state to be split into two.
“Did anyone object when KCR raised the demand for a separate Telangana state? Why should he have any objection if I support a unified state,” Mohan Babu questioned. Reacting to Chandrasekhar Rao”s threat that they would slit the tongue of any person who demands Union Territory status for Hyderabad, the actor-producer said the Andhra Pradesh capital belonged to the whole of India.
“It is not anyone”s fiefdom. Hyderabad is part of India and nobody can lay individual claim to it,” he said.
