Sharmila voiced her concerns on X, formerly Twitter, stating, "If we call for a struggle against unemployment, why face house arrests? Why block our party workers?

నిరుద్యోగుల పక్షాన పోరాటానికి పిలుపునిస్తే హౌజ్ అరెస్ట్ లు చేయాలని చూస్తారా ? వేలాదిగా తరలి వస్తున్న పార్టీ శ్రేణులను ఎందుకు ఆపుతున్నారు ? ప్రజాస్వామ్యంలో నిరసన తెలిపే హక్కు మాకు లేదా ? నేను ఒక మహిళనై ఉండి హౌజ్ అరెస్ట్ కాకుండా ఉండేందుకు,పోలీసులను తప్పించుకొని కాంగ్రెస్ పార్టీ…
