Bengaluru: Actor Prakash Raj made to headlines when he lashed out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his silence in the unsolved murder of journalist Gauri Lankesh.
He was quoted as saying. In UP, we don't know whether Yogi Adithyanath is 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 added.
This led to the speculation that Raj was going to return his National Award. However, the actor clarified this in a video saying 'I'm not such a fool to give back my National Award, its something I'm very proud of.'
A close friend of Gauri Lankesh, Prakash also criticised Narendra Modi for following some twitter users who celebrated the murder on social media.
