He made it clear that one of the key agenda items for the meeting in Delhi was the CJP. The actor-politician said, “You must have heard of the cockroaches recently. It reminded me of the Sumathi Satakam (Telugu book on morals). Even a tiny creature or an ant can kill a powerful snake.”Explaining his analogy further, he said, “In the same manner, people with small minds and no understanding of the depth of this country’s politics will use divisiveness to weaken the country’s integrity. We must not fall prey to such thoughts. Even when crores of people with small thoughts meet, be it good or bad, they can have a strong effect. So, we must fight against it and not take part in it.” Recently, Pawan also told ANI, “Somehow, why they are angry, you have to look at it. Cockroach is the one which stays in gutter… that means maybe I can understand the pain.” He also revealed that he spoke about CJP with his son, Akira Nandan, and added, “I was talking to my son today morning, and I was asking the same question. I said, how many of your friends are there, they have a huge group of friends, around 20 people, and asked him how many of them are there. I think three of them subscribed.” Prakash Raj supports the CJPPawan’s statement comes a day after Prakash was vocal in his support of the CJP.
