Hyderabad: Telangana Rakshana Sena (TRS) president Kalvakuntla Kavitha has urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to remove Union minister Bandi Sanjay Kumar from the cabinet until the investigation into allegations against his son, Bageerath, in a Pocso case is concluded. She said such a move would reinforce public confidence that institutional integrity and the pursuit of justice for minors remain paramount above all political considerations.In a letter to the PM on Saturday, Kavitha said a serious FIR had been registered against Bandi Sanjay’s son under the Pocso Act.“Sanjay Kumar occupies a powerful position as a Union minister. While the legal process will independently determine his son’s guilt or innocence, his continued occupation of this office creates an unavoidable conflict of interest. For a trial of this nature to be truly free and fair, there must be no perception of institutional asymmetry or potential administrative influence over police procedures, evidence gathering, or witness protection. Public faith in the neutrality of the justice system requires that no shadow of political influence hangs over the case,” Kavitha said.To uphold the foundational principles of the Constitution and protect the integrity of the ongoing legal process, it is vital to maintain the highest standards of political accountability, she added.
