Writer D.N. Krishnamurthy has urged the Government to order a probe into the alleged irregularities in District Kannada Sahitya Parishat, even as Mysuru city is gearing up to host the 83rd Akhila Bharatha Kannada Sahitya Sammelana shortly.
In a letter addressed to the Chief Minister, a copy of which has been sent to Kannada and Culture Minister Umashree, District in-charge Minister Dr.H.C. Mahadevappa, State Kannada Sahitya Parishat President Manu Baligar and six other top officials, Krishnamurthy has alleged that a group in the Mysuru Kannada Sahitya Parishat had indulged in corruption and other irregularities and the holding of the National-level Kannada Literary Meet under the guidance of this group was certainly going to bring a bad name to the Government.
