THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Youth league general secretary P K Firoz said that he has several evidences which prove the nepotism allegations raised against minister K T Jaleel. Firoz alleged that Adeeb was appointed rejecting undersecretary of finance department and SBI regional manager. He also said that all other officials except Adeeb are government staff, which gives further evidence for the allegation.

“Adeeb was appointed while they rejected an application submitted by a deputy general manager of the corporation. All four government staff who appeared for the interview had qualification for deputation. Two of them had more educational qualification than Adeeb. We have obtained the records proving this through Right To Information act (RTI)”, he clarified.

Muslim League leadership has clarified that they are ready to take up the challenge raised by K T Jaleel to file a legal case in the issue. However, Jaleel say that Adeeb’s appointment was made in the proper manner. It has been hinted that Adeeb will be removed from the position following the allegations.
