THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Responding to allegations of the CPM leadership’s involvement in the Karuvannur service cooperative bank fraud, chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan said that CPM is not a party that would seek benefits from such kinds of malpractices.
He said that the party takes a strong position against all misdeeds in the society and is supported by lakhs of people. If anyone does wrong, the party will never hesitate to take strong action against them, he said on Friday. The chief minister said that the bank office bearers have committed a large-scale crime and the government is taking the matter very seriously.
He said that the government has already dissolved the administrative committee of the bank, and a special team has been constituted to probe the crime. Whoever is the culprit, the government will not protect them, Vijayan said. The chief minister further said that the cooperative sector in the state is lauded and trusted by everyone, and the government will do all the needful to uphold the strength and trust of the sector.
