According to the fan club's statement, Suriya urged his supporters to keep the spotlight on the students' concerns instead of organising birthday celebrations.
The ongoing protests, led by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) along with several student organisations, continue to demand accountability over the alleged NEET paper leak, systemic reforms in the education sector, and the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
