Activists demand disqualification of MPs Simha, Hegde

Members of various organisations, on Thursday, demanded disqualification of Pratap Simha and Anantkumar Hegde as Lok Sabha members.

In a meeting, the activists, including writer Kalegowda Nagawara, NS Rangaraj, farmers leader Hosakote Basavaraju and others, condemned Pratap Simha for his involvement in Hunsur violence and Hegde for his derogatory remarks against Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.

The BJP is involved in vote bank politics by provoking communal dispute, they alleged.
