MALAPPURAM: P V Anwar MLA said Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan tried to portray him as a thief. He clarified that trying to make him a smuggler is not acceptable and the common people will understand him.

Anwar said that he will actively involve in people’s issues. It doesn’t matter if he is jailed for raising allegations, he said while talking to a media.

Anwar said the chief minister should not have underestimated him and that he has no fear or concern. He added that he is standing in front of the people's court and the chief minister has to answer for what he said.

‘Minister Muhammad Riyas will have the desire to become second in the party. The chief minister will also have the same, but it will not happen,’ said Anwar. He clarified that he never said that Muhammad Riyas is incompetent and that there are many senior leaders.

The chief minister is afraid of political secretary P Sasi. Anwar asked what great deed Sasi had done. Anwar had yesterday called Sasi a wild thief. Slavery is going on in CPM and even CPM state secretary Govindan is not able to talk. If his condition is like this, what will be the fate of the rest, asked Anwar.
