BJP MP criticises Prakash Rai's statement on Narendra Modi

Mysuru, Oct 3: BJP leader and MP Pratap Simha today came down heavily against noted actor Prakash Rai (Prakash Raj) for objecting to Prime Minister Narendra Modi not reacting to the murder of journalist and activist Gauri Lankash who was killed in front of her house by unidentified gunman on September 5. Responding to the statement Mr Rai calling Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a 'bigger actor' than himself and remained silent over Ms Lankesh's murder, Mr Simha said 'Mr Rai is speaking like this because Ms Lankesh is his friend. Where was he when more than 12 members of pro-Hindu organisations were brutally killed,' he asked. He said Mr Prakash Rai in Karnataka becomes Prakash Raj in Tamil Nadu. This reflected on his dual mentality and has no concern for his mother state. He had not spoken a word during Cauvery river water sharing dispute. He better be cautious when speaking about the likes of Mr Modi, the MP added. UNI
