Thiruvananthapuram : Opposition-led groups are creating unnecessary ruckus in the state, said Minister Kadakampally Surendran. What is the need for a protest at the moment and spread covid like this ? the minister asked. Minister KT Jaleel does not have to tender resignation merely for being questioned by Enforcement Directroate(ED), the minister added.
The previous Chief Minister Oomen Chandy had been grilled for hours at a stretch by investigation agencies; Had anyone to resign on that account, asked Kadakampally. ED spoke with Minister KT Jaleel for clarification on some things. Is there a need to blow the matter up to this extent ?, the minister asked.
There is nothing wrong in investigation agencies summoning a minister to ask questions ? Which minister in the earlier cabinet has been spared by investigative agency from some form of questioning ? Aren’t ministers at the centre grilled at times ? The Opposition-led groups are carrying out things that are absolutely uncalled for, remarked Kadakampally.
