Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan's daughter to marry DYFI national president

Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan's daughter Veena, a software engineer, is getting married to the CPI-M youth wing, Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) national President Mohamed Riaz.

Thiruvananthapuram: Kerala chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan’s daughter Veena is set to marry Democratic Youth Federation of India (DFYI) national president PA Mohamed Riaz later this month.

The marriage will take place on June 15. While the marriage has been registered recently, the wedding event would be a closed door affair, in line with the present COVID-19 protocols.

This would be the second marriage for both, as their first ones ended in a divorce.

Veena is the director of a small IT firm in Bengaluru. Riaz, an advocate by profession, entered politics as member of the Students Federation of India (SFI).

He had contested the 2009 Lok Sabha election as the CPI (M) candidate from Kozhikode in north Kerala. However, he lost to MK Raghavan of the Congress by a slender margin.
