Mysore/Mysuru: Former MP Prathap Simha has strongly objected to the Karnataka Government’s decision to invite International Booker Prize-winning author Banu Mushtaq to inaugurate this year’s Mysuru Dasara festival.
Addressing media persons in city yesterday, Simha said that while he deeply admired Mushtaq’s literary achievements, Dasara was not merely a cultural programme but a deeply Hindu religious festival rooted in devotion to Goddess Chamundeshwari.
