Thomas for using abusive language against Prime Minister Narendra Modi during a debate on Malayalam news channel Asianet. The legal notice has asked for a public apology within seven days. Failure to do so has resulted in legal action.

If Thomas does not tender a public apology within seven days, Dr. R. Balashankar will initiate appropriate legal action.
