Actor and activist Prakash Raj said here on Saturday (November 7, 2026) that “the youth of the country are not Savarkars to write sorry petitions for raising questions and protesting for their rights.”

“This generation is not violent like your Godse. This generation protests with the strength of what Gandhi has taught them. This generation is asking questions with the right Babasaheb Ambedkar has given them,” he said after expressing solidarity with the relay fast organised by the suspended activists of the Students Federation of India (SFI) at the Sree Sankaracharya University of Sanskrit (SSUS) at Kalady.
