The Congress will seek a High Court-monitored probe into the recent revelations of Swapna Suresh, the prime accused in the gold smuggling case, against Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and others, former Leader of the Opposition Ramesh Chennithala has said.
He told the media here on Monday that the Chief Minister should resign and face an inquiry. The ongoing protests would continue till this demand was met. Though most of what Ms. Suresh said had already been presented before the investigating agencies earlier as well, no proper inquiry was held.
Mr. Chennithala accused the Chief Minister of being a coward, who had made the lives of the people unbearable by imposing strict security measures wherever he went.
