Rijiju targets actor Prakash Raj and senior lawyer Prashant Bhushan, calls them 'anti-India forces'

Union Minister Kiren Rijiju has shared videos targeting people engaged in protests, specifically naming actor Prakash Raj and senior lawyer Prashant Bhushan. Rijiju claimed that such individuals are "mental Naxals" working to destroy Indian culture and described the current struggle as one between "anti-India forces" and "patriotic Indians" who want to protect the nation.

In a 2011 video, Bhushan is seen discussing Jammu and Kashmir, suggesting that the army should be withdrawn from the region, the Armed Forces Special Powers Act should be repealed, and efforts should be made to bring the local population closer to India. He added that if the people of Kashmir wish to separate, they should be allowed to do so.

Rijiju's comments follow recent protest activities. The minister emphasized the divide between those who believe in India's Constitution and what he termed as anarchists opposing national interests.
