Prakash Raj Criticises Kerala Government Over Student Suspensions at University
Actor Prakash Raj criticised the Kerala UDF government and Higher Education Minister Roji M John over the suspension of 16 students at Sree Sankaracharya University of Sanskrit, who have been on a six-day hunger strike after being barred from exams. The students were suspended following an SFI-led protest over campus facilities and accused of staging a mock cremation of the vice-chancellor. The Kerala High Court initially allowed the students to sit exams, but a division bench stayed the order. Raj condemned the government's approach as dictatorial and threatened to join the hunger strike if the students were not permitted to take their exams.
