Actors Shabana Azmi and Prakash Raj joined the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) protest at Jantar Mantar on Sunday, a day before the group's proposed 'Chalo Sansad' march as the Monsoon Session of Parliament begins. Videos of the actors expressing solidarity with the protesters have since surfaced on social media.
Shabana came to the protest site at Jantar Mantar on Sunday, where she met the demonstrators and extended her support to those participating in the agitation. Videos shared by the CJP showed the actor greeting Prakash before interacting with the protesters.
In one clip shared online by a protester on an indefinite hunger strike, Shabana was seen sitting beside her, holding and kissing her hands before gently caressing her face in a gesture of support.
Sharing the video, the protester wrote, “Thank you @azmishabana18 ma'am for your support, solidarity and love (sic).”
Shabana also addressed those gathered at the protest site, expressing her support for activist Sonam Wangchuk and his ongoing hunger strike.
Prakash Raj, who had visited the protest earlier as well, returned on Sunday to stand in solidarity with the demonstrators. Addressing the gathering, he said, “I am with you tonight. I am right here. We will see what happens.”
Later, the actor shared a selfie video from the venue on social media with the caption, “Youth of our country are #justasking (sic).”
In the clip, protesters could be heard chanting slogans in the background, while Prakash said, “That’s youngsters fighting for the cause,” before ending the video with a smile.
The CJP has been protesting at Jantar Mantar since June 6, demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and accountability over alleged irregularities in entrance examinations.
The movement gained wider attention after Sonam Wangchuk began an indefinite hunger strike on June 28. He was taken into police custody on Saturday and later admitted to a hospital following a petition seeking court intervention.
The group is scheduled to march from Jantar Mantar to Parliament on Monday as the Monsoon Session commences.
According to PTI, security has been heightened across New Delhi ahead of the Monsoon Session and the CJP's proposed "Chalo Sansad" march.
