Mysuru: City Police Commissioner Ramesh Banoth, who held an emergency press meet at his office on Thursday to speak about the prohibitory orders in the city during the 'Mahisha Dasara' celebrations told reporters that the city police would take action against BJP MP Pratap Simha for his controversial statement against 'Mahisha Dasara' as advised by legal experts.
"The Mysuru Police team is keeping a watch on the MP's statements and activities. We have consulted legal experts about the matter and expect a response from the experts latest by tomorrow. Any legal action against Pratap Simha will be taken after we receive the written response of the experts," said Banoth.

MP Pratap Simha had recently declared that the BJP would fight desperately against holding 'Mahisha Dasara' celebrations in Mysuru. "We have built this party and even the nation putting forth struggles at necessary levels. Similarly, we will fight against the worship of an evil character like Mahisha. If necessary, we will also destroy all citizens who attend the event to celebrate 'Mahisha Dasara' here," he had said in a press meet held at the BJP Mysuru unit office.
