They raise slogans against him accusing him of being anti-Hindu and anti-Dharmasthala
On Sunday, a group of Hindutva activists sought to surround actor and activist Prakash Raj outside the Karnatak Vidyavardhak Sangha in Dharwad, Karnataka. The protesters, some of whom were BJP members, aimed to disrupt his speech scheduled for 5 p.m. at the venue. Upon his arrival, the activists shouted accusations of him being anti-Hindu and anti-Dharmasthala.
However, police officers quickly stepped in to intervene and disperse the demonstrators. Several of the protesters were taken into preventive custody before being released later. Progressive activists countered the opponents by welcoming Prakash Raj, praising him as a patriot. When questioned about the incident, the actor remained silent.
