Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has accused Central agencies, specifically the Directorate of Enforcement (ED), of trying to run down the State’s cooperative sector banks by picking on isolated instances of financial irregularities.
Deliberate attempts are being made by the ED to portray that the entire cooperative sector in the State is a scam. The ED’s moves against the cooperative sector is politically motivated and the State government will resist it, he said while inaugurating a seminar on protecting the cooperative sector here on Monday.
