On the 22nd anniversary of the 2001 attack on Parliament, four miscreants used colored smoke canisters and shouted “tanashahi nahin chalegi” to create a commotion both inside and outside the building. Even though this briefly interrupted the Lok Sabha’s ongoing Winter Session’s Zero Hour, everyone’s focus is now on the visiting pass that the two guys who broke in with were given. Pratap Simha, a Mysuru-based MP for the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP), was the name on the visitor pass.
An image of the visitor pass issued to the intruders to gain access to the inside the Lok Sabha was shared by suspended BSP MP Danish Ali.
Who is Pratap Simha?
Pratap Simha is a Member of Parliament from Mysuru in Karnataka.
According to police, one of the intruders to the Lok Sabha is a Mysuru-based engineer Manoranjan D.
According to reports, Pratap Simha won from the Mysuru constituency with 43.46% of votes in 2014 and increased his vote share to 52.27% in the 2019 elections.
The 42-year-old is a former journalist and is well-known for a series of columns. He also wrote a biography of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2007.
The son of a farmer, MP Paratp Simha had earlier said that he idolises PM Modi.
Sought pass from Simha for over 3 months
Sources added that JP MP Prathap Simha, whose authorization cards were given to two individuals who broke major security on Wednesday by jumping into the Lok Sabha chamber, knew one of the accused because he was a frequent visitor to Simha’s office and came from his seat of Mysuru.
