Will Fight Those Against Dasara Invite To Banu Mushtaq Legally: Siddaramaiah | Read

Those opposing International Booker Prize winner Banu Mushtaq inaugurating this year's 'Mysuru Dasara' will be fought both politically and legally, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has said. 

Responding to a question on Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and former Mysuru MP Prathap Simha moving the Karnataka High Court for a stay on the state government's invitation to Mushtaq to inaugurate Dasara, Mr Siddaramaiah told reporters on Saturday: ""Very happy, let him go (to the court), it will be decided in the court. Why had no one gone to court when (poet) Nissar Ahmed inaugurated Dasara? He (Simha) was an MP then."
