Prakash Raj Sathyaraj Protest Gaza Violence
Prakash Raj, Sathyaraj Join Chennai Protest Against Gaza Violence, Criticize Global Silence
CHENNAI – Actor Prakash Raj, alongside South cinema icon Sathyaraj and veteran filmmaker Vetri Maaran, joined several political figures in a protest in Chennai on Friday, September 19, to voice opposition against Israel’s ongoing attacks in Gaza. During the rally, Raj also criticized Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the United States for their silence over the deaths of innocent Palestinians.
Speaking to the crowd, the outspoken actor said, “This is a gathering of everyone who speaks for humanity. Some ask, ‘Why hold such a meeting?’ If speaking against injustice is politics, then yes, it is politics, and we will speak. When a wound forms on our body, if I remain silent, it only worsens. Similarly, if a nation suffers a wound and we remain silent, that silence will wound the nation even more.”
Raj added, “The injustice happening in Palestine today is not only Israel’s responsibility but also America’s, and Modi’s silence is equally accountable.”
Sathyaraj, too, condemned the ongoing violence, calling it a violation of human rights. “How can bombs be dropped on Gaza? Where is humanity? How do these people sleep peacefully after committing such atrocities?” he questioned.
Highlighting the role of social media, Sathyaraj said, “In today’s age, social media will carry this message across the world. It is the responsibility of artists to participate in such protests. If our fame doesn’t serve humanity and freedom, what’s the point of being famous?”
