Communist Party of India (CPI) State secretary Kanam Rajendran has accused the Congress of adopting political double standards by backing an alleged Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-sponsored Enforcement Directorate (ED) probe against the State government, even while staunchly opposing the Central agency’s interrogation of senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in the National Herald case in New Delhi.
He also rued the lack of unity among Opposition parties in the country while addressing the delegates of the CPI’s Thiruvananthapuram constituency conference here on Monday.
Mr. Rajendran accused the Centre of misusing official machinery for political witch-hunts across the country. The Left Democratic Front (LDF) government has come under constant attack by agencies including the ED and the National Investigation Agency (NIA) during the last two years. The United Democratic Front (UDF) and the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) had joined hands to destablise the government, he said.
