The caller told Halady, "I know you have land. I want money," to which the MLA replied, "I have not done anything illegal and even during elections I did not take money from anyone. I do not have money."

    If the call is from Australia, why the Indian police are not seeking the assistance from Interpol and/or Australian police?

    Blackmail, extortion and threats will be treated as serious matters by the Australian police.

    Halady is quite capable to look after his own security and may not give any importance for these usual threats.

    Kalladka Don's people must be behind this. Because it was only Halady who had the courage to show right place to Kalladka Don, Jagdish Shenava & KP Adyanthaya, when they deprived Halady of Minister's post during BJP rule in KTK.
    Ravi Pujari always claims to be the protector of Hindutva.

    Simple solution - Eliminate Ravi Pujari, Dawood, Chota & Bada and the whole lot of dons. But the our police does not have the guts to do that.
