Former Finance Minister and CPI(M) leader T.M. Thomas Isaac confirmed on Monday that he had received a summons from the Enforcement Directorate (ED) concerning the open financial market borrowings by the Kerala Infrastructure Investment Fund Board (KIFFB) under his watch in the previous Left Democratic Front (LDF) administration.
Dr. Isaac said he had three classes at the EMS Academy on Tuesday and would not heed the summons. “The rest the party will decide,” he said.
According to the former Minister, the ED had sent the notice to an old address of his in Alappuzha and then leaked the matter to the media. “So they are playing a serious political game,” he said.
