LDF government has no right to remain in power, says Surendran

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president K Surendran has alleged that ruling party MLA PV Anvar has levelled the most serious allegations ever in the state against the Chief Minister’s office. The Pinarayi Vijayan government should resign as it has no right to continue in power, he told the media here on Monday.

“Law and order in the state has collapsed. Mr. Anvar has alleged that gold smuggling, murder and drug mafia operations are concentrated around the Chief Minister’s office. It is shocking that an Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) is heading operations related to gold smuggling and citation gangs,” he said.

Mr Surendran described the allegations that the ADGP and the Chief Minister’s political secretary are involved in mafia and anti-national activities as unprecedented. He asked why no action had been taken against Mr Anvar if the allegations were baseless, and why the police had not summoned him for questioning if he was spreading false allegations.

“By tapping the phone calls of ministers and political leaders, the ADGP has violated the law of the land. Considering the seriousness of the charges, including sedition, the investigation should be transferred to central agencies,” he said.
