THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: UDF has urged the chief minister and the CPM to respond to the allegations raised by the gold smuggling case accused Swapna Suresh.
Leader of Opposition V D Satheesan said Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and CPM state secretary M V Govindan have a responsibility to the public and should make things clear to them.
“If required, a police probe should be carried out into the new revelations. They should also make clear whether legal action should be initiated if the allegations are ill-motivated,” said Satheesan.
Meanwhile, CPM state chief M V Govindan refused to respond to the allegations.
