Mangaluru, Mar 03, 2021:      Former MLA J R Lobo has demanded  an apology from  Mysuru MP Pratap Simha for the offensive statement made by him  regarding the Christian community.

"The MP at a KDP meeting had  said that  those wearing a cross in their neck should not be given facilities. What is the crime  in wearing a cross?  It  is a symbol of a community," Lobo said at a press meet at the Congress office on March 3, Wednesday.

Expressing his anguish about the MP’s statement, Lobo demanded his apology and said Pratap Simha was unfit to be an MP.
