A day after Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan replied to Opposition queries regarding the 2020 gold smuggling case in the assembly, key accused Swapna Suresh claimed that he was lying to the public.
The Sasidharan Nair committee, appointed by the previous LDF government, was the second panel that probed into the Sprinklr deal. The first committee headed by M Madhavan Nair had blamed Sivasankar.
Opposition leader Ramesh Chennithala had alleged that under the guise of COVID-19, the details of patients were sold to the US company Sprinklr Inc. Following this, the CM appointed the committee.
His comments came shortly after the Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday that Vance was mulling face-to-face talks with a top Iranian security official.
