Bengaluru, Nov 23 (IBNS): Actor Prakash Raj has sent a defamation notice to BJP parliamentarian from Mysuru Pratap Simha for the latter's Facebook and Twitter posts targeting him, media reports said.

Raj's lawyer has attached the posts with a letter released.

One post read: "Being sad due to sons death, having left your wife and ran behind dancer, Do you Mr. Rai, have any right/legitimacy/worthiness to say anything to Yogi-Modi??! (sic)"

Another said, "Your name in Karnataka is Prakash Rai and Prakash Raj in Tamil Nadu, you change your name & identity according to your convenience & necessity in different states."

This comes as Raj has been critical of several BJP actions and also about Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Raj's notice has asked for an unconditional apology from Simha in writing.

He wants the apology to be publicised and also removal of the posts from social media.
