KOZHIKODE: Youth League General Secretary P K Firos has alleged that the government didn’t take any action against Minister K T Jaleel over the complaint of nepotism against him. “The chief minister should clarify why he is not initiating any probe even after three months,” he said.

“Jaleel is sitting in the minister’s chair after threatening Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and CPM State secretary Kodiyeri Balakrishnan. The evidence for this will be released in the coming days,” Firoz said at a press conference in Kozhikode on Monday.

Firoz also alleged that the government did not dare to order investigation out of the fear that a report submitted in favour of the minister would be questioned in the court.
In the complaint it was alleged that Jaleel bypassed rules to appoint his relative K T Adheeb as General Manager at a public sector unit in his department.
