ED heat on Vijayan: Don't have full details of case, stand will be that of LDF, says CPI's Viswam

ED heat on Vijayan: Don't have full details of case, stand will be that of LDF, says CPI's Viswam

Thiruvananthapuram, a CPI state secretary, Binoy Viswam, spoke on Saturday about the ED's request for an FIR against former Keralam chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan in a corruption case. Viswam stated that he does not possess full details about the case and that the LDF will politically resist any such move. He emphasized that the CPI's stance on all matters is rooted in Left values and non-negotiable principles.

Viswam also accused central agencies, including the ED, of sometimes acting with political motives. This statement followed LDF convener T P Ramakrishnan's expectation that the CPI would clarify its position on the ED's action, which involves alleging fraudulent payments made by Vijayan's daughter through a now-defunct company.
