Kathi Mahesh on Tuesday said that human rights organizations, Dalit, OBC and Minority outfits will back him if needed on the Pawan Kalyan issue. During a TV debate, he was reacting to the suggestion by Jana Sena's Town President from Tirupathi, Raja Reddy, that Kathi should apologize to Power Star by touching his feet on a poster.

"If you demand that I should stand at Pawan Kalyan's feet, let me say that Dalit, OBC and minority groups will stand by me should the need arise. Then, it's Pawan Kalyan who will have to be at my feet. My fight is my self-respect. His fans are slaves," Kathi lashed out.

"The canards that have been spread to character-assassinate me and my family members have been coming from the Shatagni team. It's like a virus. Jana Sena is like a virus," Kathi lambasted.
