THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The decision of the state government for a vigilance probe in the Life Mission fraud is to sabotage the probe by central agencies, said BJP state chief K Surendran. When the central agencies are conducting a detailed probe in the case, vigilance is brought to save the corrupt. It is a mystery that the chief minister directly intervening and ordering a vigilance probe when the allegation that the family of the chief minister obtained commission in the Life Mission exists, alleged Surendran.

The vigilance probe is a farce when the state signed the agreement with Red Crescent without the knowledge of the centre. The government, which has not yet released the Life Mission contract, is now using vigilance to destroy the documents.

Surendran termed as fascism on government’s move to take legal action against the media for reporting secretariat fire. This is a continuation of the chief secretary chasing the media when came to report the incident. The chief minister threatening media at press meets, is taking retaliatory action against them. Surendran said protests would be staged against Pinarayi Vijayan's move to make Kerala North Korea.
