Kochi: Kerala Police Crime Branch on Friday recorded the arrest of Kerala Pradesh Congress President K Sudhakaran in an alleged fraud case related to fake antique dealer Monson Mavunkal. He was released later as he secured anticipatory bail in the matter.

The Indian National Congress condemned the move and alleged that the Communist Party government in Kerala misused law enforcement agencies to target Congress leaders.   

“The desperate attempt to arrest the president of KPCC Shri.K.Sudhakaran by Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan’s police is condemnable. CPIM in Kerala and Pinarayi Vijayan must remember that Congress cannot be intimidated by such blatant attempts to misuse law enforcement agencies to target opposition leaders,” said Congress in a tweet. 

Congress said that it would continue to ask tough questions and Party will get stronger with these moves.

“We will continue to ask tough questions and keep your corrupt government on its toes on a daily basis. Mr Sudhakaran and the party he leads with conviction will only get stronger and come down heavily on you without wasting a moment,” said Congress. 

In their statement, Congress alleged that CPI had started copying Modi’s tactics. 

“Wait for the setbacks that await you in peoples’ court. Pinarayi stands exposed. by copying Modi’s autocratic and undemocratic tactics and single-window corruption, he and his party proved that they are not a worthy ally for anyone in the fight against the fascist rule in the country,” said Congress.
