Not a fool to give my awards to Modi or Yogi: Prakash Raj

News Network

October 3, 2017

Bengaluru, Oct 3: Multilingual actor Prakash Raj, who has earned the wrath of saffronists by lashing out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his silence over journalist Gauri Lankesh's murder, clarified on Tuesday that he would not return his national awards.

A section of media on Monday had claimed that Raj threatened to give his five national awards to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. A few other media reported that Raj offered his awards to Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath.

Speaking at the 11th state meet of the Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) in Bengaluru on Monday Raj had said Yogi Adityanath is a better actor than former. “Gauri’s killers have not been caught yet. But what is more disappointing is people celebrating her murder over social media spreading hatred,” Raj said.

"In UP, we don't know whether he's a Chief Minister or the pujari of a temple. You know, I have 5 national awards. I think I should give them to him," he said.

This led to speculations whether Raj was going to return his National Award. However, the actor clarified this in video, saying, "I'm not such a fool to give back my National Award, it's something I'm very proud of.”

Clarifying Raj’s statement, Muneer Katipalla, the state president of DYFI said, “It was only a satirical comment that Prakash Raj made referring to how Adityanath was trying to act like a chief minister.”

These artists think they are the only intelligent people. Film acting is their profession, which does not make them V.I.P. They get award for their good acting, and not for any good work for the society.

Prakash Raj, you can't beat them in their game of acting.

Bellari, Feb 23: Fringe outfit Sri Ram Sena leader Sanjeev Maradi said on Friday said that organization will reward Rs 10 lakh to the person who will 'eliminate' those who have raised "pro-Pakistan" slogans including Amulya who recently raised "Pakistan Zindabad" slogan at an anti-CAA protest in Bengaluru.

"We request both state and central government not to release them (Pro-Pakistan sloganeers) on bail. If they will be released Sri Ram Sena will eliminate them or will give a reward of Rupees 10 lakh to those who kill them," said Sanjeev Maradi.

"We condemn such slogans. This is like a virus. First, it happened in Jammu and Kashmir, then in JNU, then Mysore and then a student named Amulya raised pro Pakistan slogan in Bengaluru," he added.

A girl named Amulya raised 'Pakistan Zindabad' slogan on Thursday at an anti-CAA protest where AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi was also invited.

Thereafter, a case was registered under Section 124A (Offence of sedition) of the Indian Penal Code against the student.

Meanwhile, Imran Pasha, the organizer of the anti-CAA protest said that Amulya was not invited to the event.

"We were the organizers of the event. At around 6:45 pm on Thursday, when I and Member of Parliament Asaduddin Owaisi were entering the stage area, we did not notice Amulya was present there. I did not invite her," Pasha told media.
