No need to give answer to issue creators, CM ridicules MP Pratap Simha
Mysuru, October 10: Lashing out at MP Pratap Simha, Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy said that there was no need to give answers to those who create issues.
He was speaking to reporters after inaugurating the Dasara Film Festival at Kalamandir here on Wednesday.
Expressing his ire over Pratap Simha for his statement to stop Tippu Jayanti and Mahisha Dasara, the CM said that he would not take any decision which will disturb the peace in the society. There was no need to give answer to those who make derogatory statements. There was no need to give much importance to such statements. “It is my responsibility to ensure law and order in the state.
