THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: If someone is summoned for interrogation that doesn’t mean he is guilty, said CPM state secretary A Vijayaraghavan. He said this while replying to the media to a question related to C M Raveendran, chief minister’s additional private secretary, summoned for interrogation.

There is nothing unusual in summoning Raveendran in the gold smuggling case. The central agencies have the power to summon anyone for questioning. The CPM cannot see it in any other way.

When asked about Biju Ramesh’s statement against Pinarayi Vijayan, he said that he will not respond to the question underestimating the chief minister. An investigation is possible only on concrete allegations. K B Ganesh Kumar is one of the best MLAs of the Left Front. I don’t know about other things, he said.

Local body elections are a clash between development and gossip. The UDF is trying to cheat people by saying that they have no alliance with the Welfare Party. KSFE raid issue is a closed chapter. The chief minister, the party and the minister have clarified everything on all things, he added.
