FORMER Malaysian Indian Transformation Unit (Mitra) special committee chairman Datuk R. Ramanan has hit out at those making allegations against him with regard to his leadership of the unit from April 2023 to February 2024.

Ramanan challenged his critics to prove their accusations or be prepared to resign from their posts, Malaysia Nanban reported.

The Sungai Buloh MP said there were claims that committee meetings were held at unsuitable locations outside the office, adding that these were just political lies.
