Rallies against Banu Mushtaq run into police blocks in Mysuru
The police prevented two rallies to the Chamundeshwari Hills in Mysuru over the participation of Booker Prize winner Banu Mushtaq in the Dasara festival. The Karnataka government has invited Mushtaq to inaugurate the famed Naada Habba Mysuru Dasara festival. The Hindu Jagarana Vedike announced that it would hold a “Chamundeshwari Chalo” rally on Tuesday, opposing Mushtaq’s presence at Dasara.
