The panic in the Left Democratic Front (LDF) government after Swapna Suresh, accused in the gold smuggling case, recorded her secret statement under Section 164, has revealed the role of the Chief Minister in the case, Benny Behanan MP has alleged.
Addressing the protest march led by the Congress to the district collectorate demanding resignation of the Chief Minister on the basis of new revelations made by the accused, Mr. Behanan said the government was trying to intimidate people using Vigilance sleuths and by registering fresh cases.
“Middlemen were sent to settle the case. The people in the State will not pardon Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan for his role in the case,” Mr. Behanan said. DCC president Jose Vallur presided.
