LDF government has no right to remain in power, says Surendran

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) State president K. Surendran has claimed that ruling party MLA PV Anvar has raised the most serious concern ever in the State against the Chief Minister’s Office. The Pinarayi Vijayan government should resign as it has no right to remain in power, he told mediapersons here on Monday.

“Law and order in the State has collapsed. Mr. Anvar has alleged that gold smuggling, murder, and drug mafia operations are centered around the Chief Minister’s Office. It is shocking that an Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) is leading operations related to gold smuggling and quotation gangs,” he said.

Mr. Surendran described as extraordinary the statement that the ADGP and the Chief Minister’s political secretary are involved in mafia and anti-national activities. He asked why no action had been taken against Mr. Anvar if the accusation were baseless, and why the police had not summoned him for questioning if he was spreading false accusation.

“By tapping the phone calls of Ministers and political leaders, the ADGP has violated the law of the land. Given the gravity of the allegation, including settlement, the investigation must be handed over to Central agencies,” he said.
