Mysuru: Strongly condemning MP Pratap Simha’s action of preventing the Police from discharging their duty, activists of SDPI (Social Democratic Party of India) staged a demonstration near Milad Park here yesterday.

Alleging that the MP had wilfully defied the Police by deviating the Hanuma Jayanti procession route in Hunsur town, the activists alleged that the MP, taking the incident as a prestige issue, was out to create communal tensions.

The protectors urged the Government to take action against MP Pratap Simha.
