Prakash Raj said the legal notice had nothing to do with the political party that Simha belongs to, but was only a fight against the individual.

Actor Prakash Raj sends legal notice to BJP MP Pratap Simha over alleged trolling

Bengaluru: Kannada actor Prakash Raj on Thursday (23 November) sent a legal notice to BJP Lok Sabha member from the state Pratap Simha over his alleged trolling of the actor. “I have sent a legal notice to Pratap Simha as a citizen of this country for the way he has trolled me which has disturbed my personal life. I am asking him to answer legally and if he doesn’t, I will be taking legal action,” Raj told reporters in Bengaluru. Simha, who represents Mysuru constituency, had tweeted on 2 October, “Being sad due to son’s death, having left your wife and ran behind a dancer, Mr. Raj, do you have any right to say anything to (Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister) Yogi (Adityanath), (Prime Minister Narendra) Modi.” [caption id=“attachment_4105719” align=“alignnone” width=“825”] ![Prakash Raj.

Raj had also criticised the UP Chief Minister for his statements and said he was a “better actor than him and that he must give away his national awards to him”. Reacting to the legal notice, Simha told a Kannada news channel that he had only retweeted the article. “Even Twitter mentions that retweets don’t necessarily mean endorsements. I had only retweeted an article,” Simha had responded. Raj said the legal notice had nothing to do with the political party that Simha belongs to, but was only a fight against the individual. “Let the court decide if he should remain in politics. Citizens will not stop asking questions,” the 52-year-old actor said, calling Simha a “serial offender”. Raj had lost his son at the age of five few years ago.
