A Kerala minister has raised suspicions regarding the Enforcement Directorate's recent searches, suggesting they were orchestrated to shield Pinarayi Vijayan, the former chief minister, from criticism within the CPI(M). Congress remains skeptical, indicating the timing of these searches suggests ulterior motives.
While expressing disapproval of the ED's actions for not initiating when Vijayan was in office, the minister criticized the CPI(M) supporters for reportedly obstructing law enforcement activities. He emphasized that disrupting law and order would not be tolerated. The investigation targets financial transactions linked to Vijayan's daughter following a complaint by the Serious Fraud Investigation Office.
