As long as Kashmir was under the President’s rule, the situation there was calm and peaceful,' he claimed.
Pawan Kalyan recalled that Madhusudhan Rao’s wife told him that for the first three days, she wore modern dress but on the fateful day, she sported bindi which helped the terrorists identify them as Hindus. After confirming that they were Hindus, they killed Madhusudhan, he lamented.

Pawan Kalyan opined that too much lenience and patience are also not good to any nation. He noted that the Muslim population in India is equal to the Pakistan population but India has never shown any partiality, he acknowledged.
