Bengaluru, Dec 15 : The Karnataka unit of Congress on Friday wrote a letter to the Lok Sabha Speaker seeking strict action against Pratap Simha, the BJP MP from Mysuru-Kodagu seat, who provided the passes to the accused in Parliament security breach case.

The letter signed by Congress spokesperson and former MLC, Ramesh Babu says, “The Hon’ble speaker is the head of the Lok Sabha and its representative. The Speaker is the custodian of Lok Sabha and he is the guardian of the powers and privileges of the members. The Parliament of India is considered custodian of the General Public and Democracy. As Speaker of Lok Sabha, Speaker has to ensure security of the members.

"In the meanwhile it is the bounded duty of the central government to maintain law and order. If the central Government cannot keep parliament secure, then they cannot keep the country and people safe.

"BJP MP of Mysuru-Kodagu Lok Sabha Constituency Pratapa Simha has provided passes to the accused who entered into the Lok Sabha and caused a security breach. It seems that Pratap Simha also provided passes to the same accused in previous occasions also.

"On prima facie it is admitted and established that BJP MP provided the pass to the culprit. In this heinous crime of “National Security” and conspiracy of Parliament attack, so far the speaker's office has not proceeded against the MP who provided the passes to the accused.
