Tollywood star Pawan Kalyan has posted a series of tweets reacting to actor Sri Reddys remarks against him.”If I cannot defend the honour of my mother I better die..“, Pawan has titled his posts that he posted on his Twitter page.

“Before becoming an actor or a political party leader I am a son first…As a son..if i could not safeguard the honour of my mother i better die than live..”, he said in his statement.

He questioned as to why the media in the Telugu states continue to repeatedly telecast over and over the derogatory word and offensive gesture used by Sri Reddy against him. Suggesting prejudice against him, the actor asked if TV channels will give similar coverage when a minister is abused.

“But only pawanKalyan and his “aging & frail Mother deserves such abusive rants and repeated telecasts, analysis & debates (sic),” he said.

He also raked up the controversial comments made by TV 5 News anchor E Sambashiva, who had suggested that there were whores and brokers in the Telugu film industry.

It may be recalled, just a couple of days back Pawans brother Nagendra Babu had addressed the media over the same matter. He had requested everyone not to further escalate the controversy.
