Actor-turned-politician Shatrughan Sinha has spoken out in support of students protesting in Ranchi, Jharkhand, over alleged irregularities in state-level recruitment examinations.

A humble appeal to the State & concerned authorities to step in, soon sooner the better & end the woes of our students, Gen Z, younger generation."

Sonakshi Sinha Backs Jharkhand Students’ Protest

Sonakshi Sinha's support came after questions were raised over her silence on the Jharkhand students' agitation. She had previously been a regular voice supporting the CJP-led protest and had also celebrated Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation.

Her silence over the Jharkhand demonstrations subsequently drew criticism, including from actor Kangana Ranaut, who questioned why Sonakshi had not spoken in support of the students.

Later, Sonakshi addressed the issue through her Instagram Stories. She shared a reel in which a content creator discussed the hundreds of students protesting in Jharkhand.

Alongside the post, Sonakshi wrote, “It's so disheartening to see students of our country go through this… when will it stop???”
