In response to questions concerning the recent Parliament security breach, BJP Lok Sabha member Pratap Simha declined to react immediately, claiming that the ultimate judgement on his patriotism or alleged traitorous behaviour would lay with the people during the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, a PTI report added. According to the report, Simha, who was reticent to reveal specifics about the incident and continuing investigations, chose to defer to public opinion and the divine, claiming that he would follow the choice of his readers and the electorate.

In a press conference in Mysuru, Simha emphasised the importance of the electorate and constituents in determining his devotion to the country, religion, and nationalism through their votes in the next 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
