Last year, in a News 18 talk show, Prakash Raj was seen equating Ram Leela event with child porn. When the anchor asked him that why is he equating Ram Leela with child porn, Raj had replied that such events instil fear in the minds of the minorities and it is dangerous for the society.
Organizing Ram Leela, bringing Ram Sita Laxman in helicopter to Ram Leela munch is not Prakash Raj’s culture. His culture is to compare Ram Leela with child porn and call it his FOE. pic.twitter.com/3CtRcjnQ9s
