Prakash Raj condemns police action on Jharkhand protesters.

Actor Prakash Raj has voiced his concern over the police action against students protesting in Ranchi, Jharkhand. On Monday, Raj took to social media handles after visuals from the protest showed authorities using tear gas and lathi charges to disperse demonstrators marching towards the Jharkhand Legislative Assembly. He condemned the action and expressed disappointment with it.

Prakash Raj shared a video from the protest site on X and wrote, “Why .. Why .. Why 💔💔💔 . This brutality will not work anymore.. it will only bring the arrogant power down.”

Why Are Jharkhand Students Protesting?

The protest has been organised by the JPSC-JSSC Reform Manch, with students raising concerns over examinations conducted by the Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) and Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission (JSSC).

The protesters have been holding an indefinite sit-in at Jaipal Singh Munda Stadium since July 29. They have alleged irregularities in recruitment examinations and opposed the state government’s decision to rely on a CID investigation. The protesters have instead sought probes by central agencies, including the CBI and Enforcement Directorate.

Among their key demands is the cancellation of the 14th JPSC Combined Preliminary Test, conducted on April 19, along with an independent investigation into alleged irregularities in JPSC and JSSC recruitment examinations.

Prakash Raj Actively Supporting Protests

Prakash Raj had also been actively involved in Cockroach Janata Party’s Chalo Sansad march at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar. He was one of the first actors to come out in protesters’ support. Previously, the actor reacted to Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation and wrote, “Congratulations my Dear Cockroaches.. Dear Sonam wangchuk sir and every single one who stood by the youth . You Have proved that you can bring a regime down to its knees . #justasking.”
