Karnataka Minister Laxmi Hebbalkar, who has accused MLC C T Ravi of making derogatory remarks against her in the Legislative Council, has challenged the BJP leader to come to Dharmasthala and take 'Pramaana' (oath) in the presence of the deity, to speak the truth.

Ravi has denied Hebbalkar's allegation, terming it "false". "I have devotion and faith in god. He (Ravi) has said several times that he did not use derogatory words. Let's keep the law on one side, the law will take its course. This is not a challenge, I don't even expect a response from a person like him... he is trying to mislead the people, his party workers and leaders," Hebbalkar said
