After actor Prakash Raj addressed a recent event in Karnataka, youth leaders of the BJP sprinkled cow urine on the stage to "purify" it. Prakash Raj had been invited to speak at the Left-backed event titled, "Our Constitution, Our Pride" held at Raghavendra Mutt at Sirsi town in coastal Karnataka, 400 kilometres from Bengaluru. The actor-columnist was reportedly critical of union minister Anant Kumar Hegde, the parliamentarian from Uttara Kannada who is known for controversial pro-Hindutva statements.
