Mysuru Dasara row: SC junks plea over Banu Mushtaq invite; what it said
The Supreme Court has upheld the Karnataka high court's decision, allowing Muslim author Banu Mushtaq to inaugurate the state-sponsored Dasara Mahotsav at the Chamundeshwari Temple in Mysuru. The court dismissed an appeal arguing that the inauguration by a Muslim would hurt Hindu religious sentiments. The decision reinforces the secular nature of state events, as emphasized by the Constitution.
