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. I know what to do and what not to do”, he said.
After Inaugurating the Dasara festival, he had mixed feelings about the present situation in the state. Some parts have received good rains, while other parts have been facing acute scarcity of rains. Some parts have experienced flood situation. So, he would pray the Goddess Chamundeshwari to bless the people of the state, he said.
On the conspicuous absence of Congress MP and MLAs from the programme, the Chief Minister said that all leaders have been cooperating for the success of the Dasara festival. Since the Lok Sabha by-election was announced, they might be busy in their works. Ministers Jayamala and Rajashekar Basavaraj Patil have attended the programme. Others would also join the team in future, he said.

Hoax bomb threat emails spark security alert at Karnataka government offices; no explosives found
Karwar/Tumakuru: Government offices in three Karnataka towns were placed on high alert on Tuesday after bomb threat emails were received by the tahsildar offices in Karwar and Bhatkal, and the deputy commissioner’s office in Tumakuru.
According to a report published by Deccan Herald, police officials said all three emails originated from a single email ID and contained claims of “revenge from Tamilians and Pakistanis.” Following the threats, security agencies immediately swung into action and the premises were evacuated and thoroughly searched.
Teams from the local police, bomb disposal squad and dog squad were deployed at all locations. Authorities have confirmed that no suspicious objects or explosives were found. They called the threats a hoax, after extensive checks.
Uttara Kannada Superintendent of Police Deepan M N said precautionary measures were taken as per protocol to ensure public safety. “A detailed search was conducted at all the mentioned offices, but nothing incriminating was found,” he said.
Police have begun efforts to trace the source of the emails and identify the sender while security around key government buildings in the affected districts was heightened as a precaution, officials added.
