According to reports, a protest against actor Prakash Raj was staged in Karnataka’s Kalaburgi over his alleged anti-Hindu statements recently. On Sunday, a group of pro-Hindus reportedly protested by wearing black outfits and chanting slogans against him. The cops arrested the protestors, as per a report in India Today. 

As per the report, members of a pro-Hindu organisation submitted a memorandum to the Kalaburgi DM/DC (District Magistrate/ Deputy Commissioner) stating reasons for their protest against the actor. The incident took place a couple of days before Prakash's scheduled visit to Kalaburgi for a dialogue event. As per Prakash's schedule, he was supposed to also watch a play based on the human tragedy of war, titled Gayagalu.
