Chennai: DMK leader MK Stalin on Sunday threw out a challenge to Tamil Nadu Law minister M Paranjothi on his threat to initiate defamation proceedings against him for levelling land grabbing charges against the Chief Minister, saying he is "ready to face the challenge legally."
Stalin sought to turn the tables on Paranjothi, quoting from the Justice KP Sivasubramanian Committee report, set up by the DMK government, which mentioned that the land in Siruthavur was usurped by Jayalalithaa and those related to her.
"The report is still with the government, which went into the Siruvathrur land issue. The law minister should at least open the report and read it, which will spell everything clearly," he said in a statement.
Quoting from the report, Stalin said, "the villagers had filed complaints against owners of bungalow in which Jayalalithaa was staying. It belongs to family members of Sasikala. Since they were sent away from the place during AIADMK regime in 1994, they requested the then DMK government to take action against those land grabbed".
