Prakash
Raj
Apologizes
For
Siddharth's
Press
Meet
Disruption:
Actor
Prakash
Raj
extended
an
apology
to
actor
Siddharth,
conveying
regrets
on
behalf
of
the
people
of
Karnataka,
following
the
interruption
of
the
latter's
press
conference
in
Bengaluru
by
a
pro-Kannada
organisation.
Siddharth
arrived
in
Bengaluru
to
promote
his
film
'Chithha,'
also
known
as
'Chikku'
in
Kannada.
As
he
was
on
the
verge
of
commencing
his
speech
during
the
press
conference,
individuals
from
a
pro-Kannada
organisation
forcefully
entered
and
called
for
an
immediate
halt
to
the
event.
Despite
these
disruptions,
Siddharth
decided
to
proceed,
addressing
the
media
and
officially
initiating
the
press
conference.
Nevertheless,
the
scenario
intensified
when
the
activists
insisted
that
the
press
conference
be
stopped
immediately.
They
pointed
out
the
timing
of
the
event
and
criticised
it
for
not
actively
advocating
for
the
Cauvery
water
dispute,
expressing
their
belief
that
addressing
this
issue
should
have
taken
precedence
over
conducting
a
press
conference.
Confronted
with
their
continuous
disruption,
Siddharth
expressed
his
gratitude
to
the
audience
with
folded
hands
and
gracefully
exited
the
event.
Apology
Amid
Chaos
Responding
to
the
occurrence,
Prakash
Raj
conveyed
in
a
message
on
his
X
account
(formerly
known
as
Twitter),
"Instead
of
questioning
all
the
political
parties
and
its
leaders
for
failing
to
solve
this
decades
old
issue..
instead
of
questioning
the
useless
parliamentarians
who
are
not
pressurising
the
centre
to
intervene..
Troubling
the
common
man
and
Artists
like
this
can
not
be
accepted..
as
a
Kannadiga
..
on
behalf
of
Kannadigas.
🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
sorry

#justasking"
In
Karnataka,
protests
have
erupted
due
to
the
distribution
of
Cauvery
water
to
Tamil
Nadu.
These
protests
come
in
response
to
the
Supreme
Court's
recent
decision
not
to
intervene
in
the
enforcement
of
water-sharing
agreements
between
the
states,
as
well
as
the
rulings
of
the
Cauvery
Water
Management
Authority
and
Cauvery
Water
Regulation
Committee.
The
Cauvery
water
dispute
is
a
persistent
issue
that
has
frequently
generated
tensions
between
the
states
of
Karnataka
and
Tamil
Nadu.
Instead
of
questioning
all
the
political
parties
and
its
leaders
for
failing
to
solve
this
decades
old
issue..
instead
of
questioning
the
useless
parliamentarians
who
are
not
pressurising
the
centre
to
intervene..
Troubling
the
common
man
and
Artists
like
this
can
not
be…
