This viral message started a string of criticisms and also raised worries among his well-wisher. Fans and followers of Pawan were greatly worried about the safety as no one knows what threat he was under.
Some reports published also stated that Pawan is not even an MLA and his party only won one seat. So, getting such a privilege from the Modi government has raised a lot of eyebrows. Pawan has also signed a lot of films and when he will complete them is a big question.
Fact Check:
The claim that Pawan Kalyan got Z security is FALSE.
Janasena Party issued a statement rubbishing the speculations. In the statement, the party mentioned that neither the Central government granted nor Pawan approached for security. The party asked the followers not to believe such propaganda. In an official statement, it said that some vested interests are behind the propagation of the untruth.
Party clarified that Pawan didn't ask for any such security grant even though he is an ally of the ruling party at the Centre. In any case, there are no security threats that the actor-cum-politician is facing.
"Some with vested interests are making such propaganda against Janasena Party president Pawan Kalyan. Don't believe in such propaganda," said the Janasena Party office in the statement.
It asked the party leaders and workers to not worry, reported Gulte.com.
Therefore, the claims that Pawan Kalyan gets Z security are FALSE.
