Sai Pallavi says there's no difference between genocide and lynching of cow smugglers
Sai Pallavi said that she believes that the killings of Kashmiri Hindus and the attack on cow smugglers are both wrong and shouldn't have happened. She said this in an interview with Great Andhra in Telugu. She said this while explaining that violence as a means of communication is wrong.

What did she say?
"Everyone¡¯s perspective is different based on their environment. It is very hard for me to understand the concept of violence. It is very difficult for us to say what is right and what is wrong.
"They (Naxals) thought at that time that they could only get justice by violence. It happened in the past, long back. Our perspectives may be different. Pakistani people think Indian security forces are terrorists, we think the same for their forces. It is very difficult to say whether it (the Naxal movement) is right or wrong. It depends on the situation at that time. They thought violence was the only way, as per their situation."
¡°For me violence is wrong form of communication. Mine is a neutral family where they only taught to be a good human being. The oppress, however, should be protected. I don¡¯t know who¡¯s right & who¡¯s wrong. If you are a good human being, you don¡¯t feel one is right.¡±

Pallavi was promoting her upcoming movie Virata Parvam in which she is playing the role of a Naxal. The movie also stars Bahubali fame is Rana Daggubati.
"I was raised in a neutral family where they taught you to have to be a good human being. The oppressed should be protected irrespective of left-wing and right-wing. I grew up in a neutral environment. I heard about this left-wing and right-wing, but we can¡¯t say who is right and who is wrong."
When asked about the film The Kashmir Files, here's what she said.
"In Kashmir Files movie, they showed how Kashmiri Pandits were killed... But recently in covid time, some Muslim guy taking a cow in a vehicle was attacked and forced to chant Jai Shri Ram slogans. So if you are talking about religious conflict, what is the difference between the two incidents? That happened then, this happened now. What is the difference? The thing is, we should stay fair and just. If we are not good humans, we won¡¯t be just. If you are just and stand with justice, all will be ¡®neutral¡¯ around you."
Her comment has caused a furore on social media. Here's what people have to say.
Unfortunately your family don't have Proper knowledge about Kashmir Hindus.

Even till date Kashmir Hindus killed due to their religion.
If exodus of 3 Laksh is equal to cow snuggling case. how duffer you are @Sai_Pallavi92 https://t.co/m04QUbGAzE
Translation: " #ThekashmirGenocide and #lynching on suspect of cow slaughter" is same thing.

indian film ¡°celebrities¡±are afforded way too much credit for their intellectual acumen, which in most of them is non existent. They should stick to playing dumb roles , accept stupid awards,have their god forsaken acceptance speech and just fuck off. @Sai_Pallavi92 https://t.co/P891AbyRNi

My respects @Sai_Pallavi92. Violence is violence. Whoever commits in any form, whichever political affiliations it may be.

Well said @Sai_Pallavi92 . ?
A star should always have a voice and you said the right thing.
Ignore hate mongers. Their issue isn't with you , their heartburn is with the kind of movie you are choosing to do.
Keep Going. https://t.co/eHxopkALgG
#SaiPallavi won't know the difference. Her mind functions without any sentiment attached bcoz to a doctor human body is just a body to treat etc. It's all the same. Not idiot...she's damn smart & diplomatic. She's thinking about the money from her films. ? https://t.co/veJ3x5rW2Q
