Rajesh alleges ED-VD match-fixing
Alleges that the first information report (FIR) against Leader of the Opposition Pinarayi Vijayan is part of a “match-fixing” arrangement between the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan
M.B. Rajesh, a member of the CPI(M) State secretariat, has accused the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan of engaging in a "match-fixing" arrangement. Rajesh called the First Information Report (FIR) against Opposition Leader Pinarayi Vijayan a case of political persecution and questioned the substance of the case, pointing out that three courts had dismissed it.
He criticized the ED for treating the claims as unquestionable and alleged that the agency was using statements obtained through threats without proper examination. Rajesh also accused the ED of intimidating individuals to record statements and claimed that the State government had colluded with the agency by providing necessary facilities.
He further alleged collusion in the High Court and warned that both legally and politically, the CPI(M) would challenge any attempt to target Vijayan and the Left. Rajesh urged those celebrating the ED's action against Vijayan to be wary of facing similar treatment in the future, and criticized Satheesan's position as "cutting off the branch on which one is sitting."
