Life becomes real when culture comes with human religion: Prakash Rai
"I would have told police to allow them inside If I knew it earlier"
Manglauru, Dec 01: Life becomes real when religions, customs and traditions come along with human religion. Without humanity and human religion, that becomes mere words; opined noted film actor Prakash Rai.
He was addressing the gathering as the chief guest at the opening ceremony of the fourth edition of 'Jananudi' programme at the Shantikiran Hall in Nantoor today.
I don't know to hate
People have increased remembering me in recent days. I was told that some people had come and remembered me here as well. Wherever I go, they follow and get abused by police and people. I would have told police to allow them inside If I had known it earlier. I thought to discuss with them. Because we do not know to hate and quarrel. We know to talk. But what to do if they are not ready to listen, he asked.

2 detained after comment over wedding procession to Dalit house sparks clash in UP's Shahjahanpur
Shahjahanpur (UP) (PTI): Two persons have been detained after a clash broke out allegedly over remarks targeting a Dalit family's wedding procession in Uttar Pradesh's Shahjahanpur district, police said on Saturday.
The incident occurred in Lai Kheda village under Tilhar police station area, where a wedding procession from Bareilly had arrived at a Dalit household on April 20.
According to SP Saurabh Dixit, when the procession was near the house of Rajpal Yadav, he allegedly made a remark saying "Now, Dalits will also take out wedding processions riding a buggy", leading to an argument. Yadav's side allegedly turned aggressive, escalating the conflict further.
Police said a scuffle ensued between the two sides. Upon receiving information, police personnel reached the spot and ensured that the procession was conducted peacefully after the incident.
An FIR was registered on Friday against Rajpal Yadav, Sumit, Amit, Surendra, Avdhesh Yadav and five unidentified persons based on a complaint. Rajpal Yadav and his son Sumit have been taken into custody and are being questioned, Dixit said.
The case has been registered under provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023 and the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, police said.
Dixit said preliminary findings suggest that Yadav, too, was hosting a function and processions from both sides had arrived around the same time. A dispute may have initially arisen due to a narrow passage and attempts to move the processions quickly.
Police have registered the case under relevant sections of the BNS and initiated further probe, officials said.
