680 notices served against YSRCP social media activists, says Jagan

Amaravati: The YSRCP on Wednesday alleged that the TDP-led NDA government in Andhra Pradesh has served 680 notices to the opposition party's social media activists, registered 147 cases and arrested 49 of them. YSRCP supremo Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy alleged that only a few harassment cases came to the fore while a lot more party activists were being oppressed.

Reddy asserted that the government could at most issue a "CrPC 41A notice for a social media post it dislikes", but it could not allegedly "pick people up and beat them." "Booking a 41A notice (CrPC) is the maximum it can do. That's where it ends. You cannot take people and beat them up that's not acceptable," Reddy said, speaking at a press conference at his Tadepalli residence.
