Union Minister of State V Muraleedharan has reacted to the arrest of CM’s former principal secretary M Sivashankar in the Life Mission scam case. He said that the ED's action in the Life Mission case proves the credibility of central agencies. Muraleedharan also alleged that Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan is involved in the scam. He criticized the CM through a Facebook post.
In his post he says that the arrest clarifies Modi government’s stance that those involved in corruption and black money dealings will be punished no matter who they are. “Pinarayi Vijayan is either involved in this scam led by his confidant. Or Pinarayi Vijayan is an idiot and incompetent ruler who knows nothing about what is going on under his government.”, he wrote.
