CPI Leader Narayana Questions Ticket Price Hike for Pushpa

CPI leader Narayana expressed deep sorrow over the tragic stampede at Sandhya Theater during the benefit show of Pushpa. The incident claimed the life of Revathi and left her son Sreetej seriously injured. Extending his heartfelt condolences to the grieving family, Narayana wished for Sreetej’s speedy recovery.

CPI Leader Narayana Criticism Over Ticket Price Hike

In a strongly-worded video statement, Narayana criticized the government for permitting a ticket price hike for Pushpa. He raised questions about the film’s societal impact, asking:

“Is Pushpa a movie that promotes the smuggling of red sandalwood? It glorifies smuggling and includes obscene songs. Why should the government support such content by approving ticket hikes?”

Narayana’s statement has sparked discussions about the role of government and cinema in shaping societal values.

Support for Police Action

The CPI leader expressed his solidarity with the police and urged the government to take strict measures to prevent similar tragedies in the future. He emphasized the importance of public safety and called for stronger regulations during high-profile film events.

Call for Collaboration and Support

Narayana urged the film fraternity, artists, and political leaders to work together to create safeguards that can prevent such incidents. He also stressed the need for the government to provide full support to the victim’s family during this challenging time.

In addition, Narayana announced that the CPI would extend assistance to the affected family, highlighting the party’s commitment to supporting those impacted by the tragedy.

The Way Forward

The tragic incident at Sandhya Theater has opened a broader discussion about the ethics of promoting certain themes in cinema and the responsibilities of government and filmmakers. Narayana’s call for action reflects a growing demand for accountability and safety in public events.

As the discussions continue, the focus remains on ensuring that such tragedies do not recur and that cinema contributes positively to society.
