THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Minister Kadakampally Surendran came forward justifying the vigilance raid in KSFE. He said they have the freedom to conduct a raid there. Vigilance conducts independent searches and they now have the freedom for it. They didn’t have the freedom earlier. Ananthalavattom Anandan and Finance Minister Dr Thomas Isaac who took a stand against the raid are now convinced of the things, clarified Kadakampally.
Ministers E P Jayarajan and G Sudhakaran had earlier supported the chief minister and also justified the vigilance raid. Jayarajan said what happened in KSFE was not a raid. The chief minister had explained everything that happened and his is the last word. There is nothing unusual in the vigilance raid, he said.
