THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has made it clear that reports suggesting that he had accused the state police of spying for the RSS are baseless. He also warned people to crosscheck the news reports rather than blindly following them.

Earlier, a media had reported that the CM has accused the police of doing spy work for RSS. This is baseless. The CM added that he only tried to point out the pros and cons of the police department during a recent meeting. This was misinterpreted by a section of the media which tried to make it a political controversy.

It must be noted that Pinarayi Vijayan had earlier criticised the police force for the stand taken during Sabarimala issue. According to him, some of the officials acted of their own will rather than following government orders thereby making the situations worse.
