Malappuram (Kerala): The ruling Left Democratic Front (LDF) MLA PV Anvar escalated his criticism of the Kerala government on Wednesday, accusing ADGP (Law and Order) MR Ajithkumar and Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan's political secretary P Sasi of acting against the government's interests.
Anvar, the MLA from Nilambur, claimed that a "criminal group" within the police force, led by Ajithkumar, had sabotaged investigations into various cases, including the burning of Swami Sandeepananda Giri's ashram. He alleged that Sasi, despite being aware of this, failed to inform the CM or the government.
The MLA also alleged that Sasi did not disclose to the government, party, or CM intelligence reports indicating Ajithkumar's meeting with an RSS leader and his alleged involvement in phone tapping of political leaders.
Anvar accused Sasi of neglecting his duties and failing to report the misconduct of police officers to the government. He further alleged that Ajithkumar and the criminal group he heads have RSS links and are working to protect their interests.
The Nilambur MLA suggested that the CM was considering taking action against those he trusted, once he was convinced of their betrayal.
Anvar's previous allegations against Sasi and Ajithkumar, including accusations of phone tapping and involvement in gold smuggling, have already put the Left government under pressure from the opposition UDF and BJP.
