Raghava Lawrence broke down into tears when he heard about the chaos happening at Marina beach. He shared a video on his official Facebook page, in which he opened up about what he is feeling.
He said, "Early this morning, I received a phone call from Marina saying, the protesters are being forced to leave the place. I and few people who initiated this protest decided to move this issue to the next level with the help of a lawyer by today morning, but the situation seems to be worse now. I saw the live scenes in television and I couldn't understand what was happening over there. It was chaos all over. After seeing all these, I went to Marina, but I was not allowed to enter. I pleaded to the Police to allow me. I assured them that my boys (students) would listen if I speak to them. Unfortunately, I was not allowed.
But I kindly request all my boys not to enter into the beach water, as our life is very important. If you have any small kids with you, please take good care of them. If the police are beating you up, please move away and stand aside. Don't be scared. I'll somehow manage to come to beach within an hour, with this team who are besides me."
