THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Tuesday said that the Life Mission project should not be misinterpreted by anyone. He added that the project is an initiative that will be of great help to the common people in the state.
According to the Chief Minister, the High Court verdict in favour of the government is an apt response to those who are spreading lies against the government and the Life project. The CM was responding to media after the High Court issued an interim stay to the CBI probe into the Life Mission project.

"Those who tried to block the dream of around 150 families might be unhappy with the stay in the matter," Vijayan said.
Asked about the similar contentions raised by the Congress and the BJP against the Life Mission project, Vijayan said, "birds of a feather flock together."
"The birds of the same feather flock together and it's a problem that they will have to deal with," Vijayan said.
"The high court has said it's undisputed that the Life Mission has not received any foreign contribution. It also said that neither Life Mission nor the builders fall under the purview of Section 3 (1) of the FCRA," the chief minister said.
He also pointed out to paragraph 18 of the order and said neither the FCRA provisions nor the material on record justify arraying Life Mission as an accused. "I am not commenting on a matter, which is under consideration of the court. However, the high court order has the reply to those who create a smokescreen with dubious allegations and unnecessary campaigns in the public sphere," Vijayan said.
