Will buy 'Vartha Bharati' and set it right: BJP MP Pratap Simha remarks against Kannada Media House
Mysuru: Making sharp remarks against Vartha Bharati on Sunday, Karnataka BJP MP Pratap Simha said that he would buy the media house and set it right.
Speaking at a press conference, the Mysuru-Kodagu MP was irked by a question posed by Vartha Bharati reporter Satish Kumar. The MP was also questioned about the Karnataka government’s move to scrap the 4% reservations for Muslims under the 2B category.
“I will buy Vartha Bharati and set it right. Even after joining politics and being in this field for over 10 years, I have not lost interest in journalism. They always project news in a prejudiced and biased manner. They think only they are pro-Ambedkar, we are also pro-Ambedkar and we are also concerned about the ethos of the constitution."
“Tell me if the four percent reservation for Muslims was within the ethos of the Constitution? If not, didn’t Congress and JD(s) violate the principles of the Constitution by enforcing it? We have set their violations right by revoking the reservation.” The MP said in the press conference.
Speaking further, Simha added that he will get elected to the parliament from the same Mysuru-Kodagu seat under the leadership of MP Modi in 2024. He added that the progress and development of the constituency were his first priority.

Young advocates urge Chief Justice of India to reconsider transfer of Karnataka High Court judges
Bengaluru: A group of over 200 young advocates practicing before the Karnataka High Court have submitted a formal representation to the Hon'ble Chief Justice of India, expressing concern over the proposed transfer of certain sitting judges of the High Court.
In a letter addressed to the Chief Justice, the junior members of the Bar have appealed for a reconsideration of the transfers, describing the judges in question as respected figures known for their fairness, judicial discipline, and support for young lawyers. According to the advocates, these judges have consistently fostered courtroom environments that are patient, merit-focused, and encouraging for those in the early stages of their legal careers.
The signatories expressed particular concern about the absence of a stated rationale for the proposed transfers, especially given the integrity, impartiality, and judicial efficiency demonstrated by the judges in question. They emphasized that while judicial transfers are administrative decisions, they have a profound impact on the morale of the legal community, particularly on young practitioners.
While fully respecting the authority and wisdom of the Hon'ble Collegium, the advocates clarified that their representation is not a critique but a sincere appeal from those who have directly benefited from the conducive judicial atmosphere created by the concerned judges. They stressed the need for transparency in such decisions and urged that the perspective of the younger generation of lawyers be given due consideration.
The representation concludes with an appeal to safeguard the ideals of judicial independence, consistency, and public trust in the judiciary.
