Kerala Vigilance Recommends CBI Probe Against Opposition Leader Satheesan Over Foreign Funding Allegations

Kerala's Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau (VACB) has recommended a CBI probe against Leader of the Opposition V.D. Satheesan concerning alleged violations of the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA) related to the 'Punarjani' rehabilitation project. The VACB report suggests funds were collected from the UK through foundations, potentially contravening FCRA rules. Satheesan has dismissed the allegations as politically motivated and vowed to fight them, stating the foundation had FCRA clearance and handled transactions legally. The government is seeking legal opinion on the matter.
