<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\nSome of the stars from the film fraternity have shared their support for the protest at Jantar Mantar in Delhi. Among some of the stars from South Indian film industry, actor Prakh Raj has been highly vocal about the issue. He has been sharing his support through social media posts and even reached out at the time.In one of his posts, Prakash Raj<\/a> wrote, \u201cWorld is witnessing a Coward government who don’t want to engage in a dialogue with the youth but want to behave like Dictators. Forcibly taking away \u2066@Wangchuk66\u2069 and disrupting Students peaceful protest is a sign of Fear. What a SHAME #justasking.\u201dLater, after activist and educationist Sonam Wangchuk<\/a> was moved by police authorities, the actor shared another post that read, \u201cParde ke peeche kya hai, Chappan inch ka Dara hua Nangapan. Whats behind the screen. 56 inches of Shivering Nakedness #justasking.\u201d<\/p>\n The \u2018Singham\u2019 actor later reached Jantar Mantar to support the protest led by the youth-led Cockroach Janta Party (CJP). Sharing a video from the protest site, he wrote, \u201cYouth of our country are #justasking.\u201d During the march thousands of supporters of the Cockroach Janta Party marched in Delhi, demanding resignation of the Union Education Minister. Later reports suggest that police stopped the march with barricades and clashes broke out as protesters tried to move forward. Some protesters also claimed they were injured during baton charges.After witnessing the situation, Prakash Raj shared another video and wrote, \u201cWitnessed authoritarian regime’s brutality on the youth of my country. Shocked.. and deeply disturbed. Tanashahi nahi chalegi. The country has woken up. This is just the beginning.\u201d On the other hand, on July 19, filmmaker Pa Ranjith also shared his support for Sonam Wangchuk and the protesters. He shared a long message on social media after Wangchuk was shifted to a hospital during his 21-day hunger strike at Jantar Mantar.<\/p>\n In his statement, Pa Ranjith wrote on his X handle, \u201cIn solidarity with #SonamWangchuk, the #CockroachJantaParty and every protester at #JantarMantar.\u201dHe further wrote, \u201cCondemnation against the state’s intervention in the peaceful protest at Jantar Mantar. The use of force against protesters, the detention of those standing in solidarity, and the decision to move innovator and activist Sonam Wangchuk to a hospital during his 21-day hunger strike are deeply disturbing.\u201d Talking about the reason behind the protest, he added, \u201cSonam Wangchuk\u2019s struggle reflects the anger, anxiety, and uncertainty that millions of young people across the country have been forced to endure. Repeated allegations of paper leaks, failures in the examination system, and the absence of accountability have put the dreams and futures of countless students at stake.\u201d<\/p>\n Pa Ranjith also said that the concerns raised by students and protesters should be addressed through dialogue instead of force. He wrote, “Instead of responding to these concerns, the government has chosen to crack down on peaceful democratic dissent.”He further added, \u201cWith the future of the nation at stake, the Union Education Minister and the BJP-led Union government have a responsibility to respond with accountability, not force.\u201dThe \u2018Thangalaan\u2019 director also expressed his support for those participating in the protest march.<\/div>\nActor reacts after visiting the protest site<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
