Vigilance probe meant to protect minister: YC
Kottayam, Sep 25 (UNI) Youth Congress(YC) Kerala unit President P Sidiq today alleged that the Vigilance Inquiry into the Merchiston Land deal was part of a plot to protect Forest Minister Binoy Viswam.
At a news conference here, Mr Sidiq contended that the minutes of the meeting convened by the minister itself was a proof of his involvement in the irregular deal.
Political connections of Merchiston estate owner Xavi Mano Mathew should also be included in the terms of reference of the inquiry, he demanded.
He said the Youth Congress would continue its agitation vigorously until the inquiry was entrusted to CBI and the minister resigned.
