Not threatened at all", said actor Prakash Raj on Thursday, on reports that the killers of journalist Gauri Lankesh had planned to kill him as well.


"I laugh at these sorts of threats. I'm not threatened at all. My voice becomes stronger. Forces like these are bringing hatred in the country," Raj said, while speaking to ANI.


Expressing concern over "installing fake propaganda in youngsters", he said, "What I'm more worried about is who brainwashes these youngsters and why? Through these threats we can understand how arrogant and fearless they are. Especially in installing fake propaganda in youngsters."


A local Kannada news channel reported that according to the SIT investigation, Gauri Lankesh's killers had conspired to kill Raj, after he targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Lankesh was shot dead outside her Bengaluru residence on September 5, 2017. -- ANI
