CPI(M) Alleges Political Motives Behind ED FIR Against Pinarayi Vijayan
CPI(M) leaders allege that the Enforcement Directorate's FIR against Opposition Leader Pinarayi Vijayan is politically motivated and part of a collusion involving Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan. M.B. Rajesh calls the case political persecution and questions the ED's credibility, while CPI(M) State secretary M.V. Govindan accuses Satheesan of aligning with the RSS to target Left leaders. The allegations highlight tensions over the ED's role and the political handling of the case, with calls for legal and political challenges ahead.
