Congress MLA Mathew Kuzhalnadan, against whom the Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] has raised allegations of illegal financial dealings and tax evasion, said on Wednesday that the CPI(M) was welcome to conduct investigation by any agency, including a direct inquiry by the party, into his law firm’s tax payments and other financial dealings.
In the same vein, he challenged the CPI(M) to disclose the details of the tax payments since 2016 and other financial transactions made by Exalogica, the IT firm owned by Veena Vijayan, daughter of Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan.
At a press conference here, Mr. Kuzhalnadan said the CPI(M) had attempted to put him in the dock for questioning Veena Vijayan’s “dubious” financial transactions with a Kochi-based mining firm.
