Kerala MLA P V Anvar lashes out against chief minister for misleading public

VIRTUALLY ending his association with the ruling LDF, independent Left MLA P V Anvar on Thursday lashed out at Kerala chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan, accusing him of misleading the public and demanding that he give up the charge of the Home department.

Anvar also challenged Vijayan to order a reinvestigation of the around 180 gold smuggling cases in the state under the supervision of a sitting judge, alleging that the police was not following proper procedure when seizing the precious metal from the ‘carriers’ who bring it from abroad illegally.
