THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Opposition leader V D Satheesan said what came out through the mouth of the chief minister was a political narrative being propagated by the Sangh Parivar at the national level. The political decay in CPM is leading to political disintegration of the Left Front, said Satheesan while talking to the media in Thiruvananthapuram.
Satheesan’s words
The Hindu daily prepared the interview of the chief minister as per the request of the PR agency. The Hindu has explained that representatives of the PR agency were present during the interview. Vineet Handa, the most important person in the PR agency, was present there. The PR representatives gave the note to the newspaper with the permission of the chief minister. It should be examined with whom this PR agency is working with.
If contacted the media in Delhi, will know that Kaizzen is a PR agency that works for any party and for any group of leaders. The same agency arranged the chief minister's interview with The Hindu and Khaleej Times. Why a PR agency is needed for a chief minister to give an interview as asked by the ministers? If a passer-by asks to give an interview to The Hindu, would the chief minister give? The interview was given with the knowledge of the chief minister. Then cleverly included that the chief minister didn't say in the interview.
The opposition in Kerala was the first to talk about the gold smuggling. During the first Pinarayi government, I gave notice for an adjournment motion and spoke about gold smuggling. The chief minister didn’t say any of this then? We said then that the government is giving political support to the gold smuggling.
The chief minister has now resorted to gold smuggling to create divisiveness like the BJP. However, everything has shattered now. When the issue sparked a controversy, he is now trying to justify it. Deshabhimani is the newspaper that did not fully give the explanation issued by Hindu. If you read the explanatory note of Hindu, you will understand why this was done. The PR agency with some other political connections made the chief minister say this sentence.
The political narrative propagated by the Sangh Parivar at the national level came out through the mouth of the chief minister. Is the chief minister ready to file a case against the PR agency if the matter causing division in the state was written without the chief minister’s knowledge. They have committed a criminal offence by writing what the chief minister of Kerala has not said. Does the chief minister have the guts to file a case?
