THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: After expressing solidarity with the students’ protest at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar, Malayalam actors are now rallying behind the PSC rank holders who have been staging a stir at the Secretariat for the past 22 days.
On Sunday, actor Chandu Salimkumar shared a reel posted by an online media unit on the protest staged by lower primary teacher rank holders demanding immediate appointments from the PSC rank list published on May 31 last year and accurate reporting of vacancies. Various other actors, including Tovino Thomas, Naslen K Gafoor, Deepa Thomas and Leona Lishoy, shared the same reel as their Instagram stories.
Meanwhile, actor and television presenter Ranjini Haridas, who faced cyberbullying for attending the Jantar Mantar protests, responded that she was unaware of the details of the PSC protest and would like to know about the same.
In an Instagram post, she also urged her followers to share contacts of any student or representative of the protesters to directly understand their concerns and take part in it if she believes her voice can help reach more people and contribute to a positive change.
However, she later shared an Instagram story that said every student deserved justice, whether the examination is conducted by the Centre or the state. Notably, all major actors who expressed solidarity with the students’ protest at Jantar Mantar had faced cyberbullying, for their alleged silence on the PSC protest. However, Chandu had replied to the criticism saying he did raise his voice in the PSC issue.
