On Wednesday, the political narrative appeared to pivot sharply to the Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) high-profile actions targeting Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan’s daughter, T. Veena , and Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] central committee member T.M. Thomas Isaac.
Mr. Vijayan’s initial response came in the evening at an anti-Citizenship (Amendment) Act rally in Kollam. He accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led Central government of subverting Central agencies to stifle dissent and eliminate the Opposition.
