June 14, 2026

Bengaluru: The Citizens for Justice and Peace (CJP) held a protest in Bengaluru on Sunday, drawing participation from actor Prakash Raj, who joined the demonstration and extended support to the campaign on civil liberties and constitutional rights.

The protest was organized in the city to raise concerns related to democratic freedoms, constitutional safeguards, and what the organisers described as accountability in governance and institutions. Supporters of the campaign gathered at the venue, raising slogans and taking part in speeches highlighting their demands.

Actor Prakash Raj, who has been vocal on social and political issues in the past, was seen participating in the protest and expressing solidarity with the movement. His presence drew attention given his frequent involvement in public demonstrations and civic campaigns.

During the event, a CJP spokesperson made a strong remark while addressing the gathering, saying, “We are challenging everyone, including the Supreme Court and the Chief Justice of India (CJI).”

The statement immediately drew attention as it directly referred to the country’s top judicial institution and is expected to trigger discussion across political and legal circles.

Organisers, however, maintained that the protest was aimed at highlighting issues related to civil rights and protecting constitutional values, asserting that their campaign was focused on democratic accountability and justice.

The event proceeded peacefully, with participants continuing speeches and demonstrations for a significant part of the day. However, the controversial remark remained a key talking point emerging from the protest.

No official response from the judiciary or government authorities was available immediately following the statement. Further developments are awaited.
