The issuance of a show cause notice to Karnataka MP Prajwal Revanna by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) marks a significant development in the ongoing controversy surrounding the sex tapes allegedly involving him. The notice comes in response to the request made by the Karnataka Chief Minister to Prime Minister Narendra Modi urging the cancellation of Prajwal Revanna's diplomatic passport.
The central government's decision to escalate its efforts to bring back the absconding leader, who reportedly fled to Germany after the scandal emerged, reflects the seriousness with which the matter is being treated. Prajwal Revanna's diplomatic passport is now under scrutiny, and the MEA is undertaking the process of canceling it under the provisions of the Passports Act of 1967 and related regulations.
Cancellation of the diplomatic passport would render Prajwal Revanna's stay abroad illegal, potentially exposing him to legal action by authorities in the country he is residing. The issuance of a 'Blue Corner Notice' by Interpol seeking information on Revanna's whereabouts further underscores the gravity of the situation.
The MEA's clarification that no political clearance was sought or issued for Prajwal Revanna's trip to Germany on a diplomatic passport underscores the procedural irregularities in his travel arrangements. This revelation adds another layer to the controversy surrounding the MP's actions in the wake of the sex tape scandal.
Overall, the issuance of the show cause notice and the MEA's actions signify a concerted effort by the central government to address the matter under legal procedures. As the investigation unfolds and efforts to locate Prajwal Revanna intensify further developments are expected in this high-profile case.
