Popular National Award-winning South Indian actor Prakash Raj has recently been in the news for the wrong reasons. The actor had spoken about the death of the famous journalist, Gauri Lankesh and had asked as to why the Prime Minister is keeping quiet about it. He also spoke about how people are going around acting as if nothing has taken place and that he would like to give his National awards to them for their acting.
His statement was misinterpreted by many journalists and it was reported that Prakash Raj would be returning his National awards fighting against the killing of Gauri Lankesh. He then trashed the reports by saying he is not a 'fool' to return them as he received them for his body of work. Now, there has been a complaint that has been lodged against the actor by a lawyer in Lucknow for his words against the PM of India, Narendra Modi.
Prakash Raj included the PM and said they are acting as if nothing has happened and that he needs to stop being silent about it. This complaint is to be heard in court on the 7th of October. For further updates on this issue, stay tuned.
''I AM NOT A FOOL TO GIVE BACK MY NATIONAL AWARDS'' - PRAKASH RAJ CLARIFIES

Prakash Raj while addressing the media spoke against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He said that he wasn't happy with the silence of our Prime Minister. Since his speech was in Kannada, some media have apparently misquoted what he said.
Now Prakash Raj has given a formal explanation to the whole issue: "All I could do is laugh when I see these scrolls in Television channels. I am not a fool to give back my National Awards which has been given to me for my body of work and which I am proud of. Well coming to the point, I would like to explain few things.
I Was on a stage addressing a group of youngsters; there was a discussion about the killing of Gauri Lankesh and other killings that shocked us. We don't know who killed them, but we can see who is celebrating. I am pained and I am taken aback by the celebration of inhuman killing, and I just vented out my anger at those people who are celebrating.
When such killings are celebrated and the Prime Minister of the country decides to remain silent about the issue. That silence hurts me. This is what I said, and I have a right to say this. It is that simple as that. All this hype saying Prakash Raj is going to reject his National Awards as a protest against the government is something I did not say. What's said and what's not said. For all out there .. thank you"
