Thiruvananthapuram: The CPM Kerala secretariat has landed in fresh trouble after a Chennai-based businessman came forward with serious allegations against party state secretary MV Govindan’s son, Shyam. The businessman, Muhammad Sharshad, has filed a complaint with CPM general secretary MA Baby in this regard. Neither the party nor Govindan responded to Sharshad's claims yet.
Sharshad said that he had submitted a complaint to the Polit Bureau disclosing illegal financial deals of some CPM leaders. However, documents attached to his complaint were leaked and later produced as evidence in a defamation case filed by the London-based businessman Rajesh Krishna. Sharshad alleged that Shyam was behind the leak, passing on his complaint to Rajesh.
He added that Rajesh may have forced Shyam to leak the letter. Sharshad claimed that the party leadership ignored his complaint and Govindan blocked his phone number after he informed him about his son's links with Rajesh.
Though Rajesh was invited to attend the party congress in Madurai, he was asked to stay away from the event after Sharshad raised his complaint.
In his letter to the Polit Bureau, Sharshad alleged that Rajesh had transferred unaccounted money to the bank accounts of accused CPM leaders. Following the leak of this letter, Rajesh filed a defamation case in the Delhi High Court, claiming that false accusations had been made against him.
Speaking to Manorama News on Sunday, Sharshad said that both the Directorate of Enforcement (ED) and the Income Tax Department are investigating his complaint over the alleged illegal financial transactions from Rajesh Krishna’s bank account. He alleged that Rajesh was able to use his leaked complaint as evidence in the defamation case with the help of Govindan’s son.
Satheesan demands CM's respnse
Responding to the controversy, opposition leader VD Satheesan demanded an explanation from Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan. He alleged that the CPM state committee intentionally tried to cover up Sharshad’s complaint. The Congress leader added that the names of all CPM leaders who are allegedly involved in the financial deal with the London-based notorious businessman should come out.
