Pawan Kalyan Shows Concern Towards Weavers

Actor turned politician and Jana Sena Party (JSP) president Pawan Kalyan on Thursday showed his concern towards the weavers' community and has promised to take the issue to the central level.

He was on a two-day visit in which he took part in various programs and interacted with the handloom weavers at Yemmiganur. He has also planned a roundtable meeting with weavers from Yemmiganur, Dharmavaram, and Mangalagiri in which he will discuss all issues pertaining to the handloom sector. Along with the weaver masters, handloom workers will also be invited to the meeting.

He will also form a joint action committee (JAC) within two to three weeks. He will instruct the related officials to look into the issue of denied pension to the weavers.

Mr. Pawan Kalyan asked the government to make sure that everyone received a pension, and said, "Elderly people are being excluded because their children are working or they are using excess power. Where is the guarantee that the children will take care of their parents? What will the elderly persons do in such a situation?"
