Pralhad Joshi, a senior political leader, has formally requested the suspension of a Mysuru district inspector following comments made about the Ganeshotsava festival. The remarks, which were perceived as discouraging the celebration, have drawn criticism from community leaders. Joshi expressed that Hindus in the region are compelled to seek permission to celebrate the festival with the desired grandeur. The demand has been lodged with the local authorities and is awaiting a response.

Joshi’s call for action underscores the broader debate over the role of state officials in managing public celebrations. The matter remains under review by the police and administrative bodies.
