Udupi: Social activist T J Abraham has said that he is not scared of District In Charge Pramod Madhwaraj and said that he wants Pramod to file defamation suit against him.

T.J. Abraham has made allegations of fraud against Pramod Madhwaraj last week. Replying to this, Pramod Madhwaraj had given T J Abraham three days to tender an apology or face Rs. 10 crore defamation case.

After the two days, T.J. Abraham held press meet at Udupi Press Club and said, "Pramod Madhwaraj has given me three days to tender an apology or face a Rs. 10 crore defamation case. Today I am here in front of media. I must say that I welcome his legal notice. I have accepted the challenge by Pramod and let him file the case within 30 days time as soon as possible."

Abraham had recently alleged that Pramod had mortgaged three acres and eight cents of land in Uppoor village at the value of Rs. 1.1 crore in his filed affidavit and he obtained a loan of Rs. 193 crore from Syndicate Bank, Malpe Branch.

"I have no political pressure to file fraud case against Pramod Madhwaraj. All 224 MLA’s property records are with me in my office. I am doing homework to find out property value of all the MLAs of BJP, Congress, JDS or others. Whoever it may be, if where there is fraud, I will fight against them legally. I do not care and nor am I afraid of anyone. Jesus has given me full power to fight against the corruption," he said.
