A political controversy has erupted in Karnataka over the Congress government’s decision to invite writer Bhanu Mushtaq to inaugurate the Mysuru Dasara festival. The move has drawn a backlash from the BJP, which has raised objections based on the author’s past statements about the Kannada language and state flag. BJP leaders have also questioned if the author believes in the deity Chamundeshwari, who is worshipped during the festival. The Karnataka government has defended its decision, maintaining the festival is not limited to one religion. Bhanu Mushtaq has responded to the controversy, stating that the matter can be seen from different perspectives. The writer also said, "the Dasara festival is a part of a culture and she is truly happy to have received the invite." The debate has turned a celebrated cultural festival into a political battleground. #mysurudasara #karnataka #bhanumushtaq #itwebvideos #dasaracontroversy #politics #bjp #congress #karnatakapolitics #dasarafestival #culturalfestival #indiatoday #news #currentaffairs #mysuru #kannada
