The Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] has rallied behind embattled Health Minister Veena George, who had come under severe criticism from the Opposition and the social media in the aftermath of the workplace murder of house surgeon Vandana Das at the Kottarakara taluk hospital early this week.
CPI(M) State secretary M.V. Govindan took strong exception to veteran Congress leader Thiruvanchoor Radhakrishnan’s (MLA) alleged statement that Ms. George faked grief at Vandana’s funeral at her house in Kottayam.
