Mahishasura Dasara festival: MP Pratap Simha gets into verbal spat with DCP

Mysuru: A video of BJP MP Pratap Simha arguing with Deputy Commissioner of Police Muthuraj for allowing to put up a stage to celebrate Mahishasura Dasara at the Chamundeshwari hill here has gone viral on social media.

In the video, Simha can be seen venting his ire against the police officials and even using foul language for allowing the stage to be set up for the Mahishasura Dasara which is not in sync with Hindu traditional beliefs.

The police officers, however, said that they were not connected to the event in any way.

As per Indian mythology, Dasara is celebrated to mark the victory of Goddess Chamundeshwari over Mahishasura. However progressive thinkers celebrate Mahishasura Dasara stating that he was a kind-hearted king.

Meanwhile, Kannada writer and rationalist KS Bhagavan has been placed under house arrest to ensure that he stays away from the event, said a source.
