Thiruvananthapuram : Dismissing gold smuggling case accused Swapna Suresh’s allegation, MLA K. T. Jaleel asserted he never intervened to have “Madhyamam” daily shuttered.
Madhyamam came out with a feature rife with pictures of people who died from Covid in Gulf. That gave rise to anxiety and outrage among expats here. To verify ground facts and determine course of action, a WhatsApp message was sent to the Consul General’s PA in this regard. That’s all. Nowhere does the message suggest closure of Madhyamam, pointed out KT Jaleel.
There was no kind of attempt to nurture business relation with the Consul General. Except for having run a travel agency during days as Youth League secretary, I have never engaged in any business. I have no money that has not been taxed for. The ED has scrutinised all my bank accounts, said Jaleel.
