Thiruvananthapuram: CPM state secretary MV Govindan said on Thursday that Governor Arif Mohammed Khan was making ignoble accusations that people have already rejected. He said the party won’t react to the governor who is quoting gold smuggling accused Swapna Suresh.
The CPM leader was reacting to the governor’s statement on the gold smuggling case. “Who invited the woman to the hill station? Didn't the controversial woman pay a visit to the Chief Minister's office? Resignation of the Chief Minister's former principal secretary is also being discussed by the public,” the governor had said.
The CPM leader said that the governor was quoting from “yellow press.” Govindan added that the governor was making allegations without understanding the matter.
Khan had also hinted on using the gold smuggling case and Swapna’s allegations in his fight against the state government.
