THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The Congress leaders have hailed the Kerala High Court order to remove con woman Saritha S. Nair’s letter against former chief minister Oommen Chandy from the solar commission’s report. Mr Chandy said that the report had become irrelevant as Saritha’s letter was the most crucial aspect in it.
However, he clarified that in spite of the court order, he would not take up any official position in the party. “There was no evidence against me other than the forged letter written by Saritha. Now the ball is in the people’s court to evaluate the LDF government’s actions,” Mr Chandy told reporters here. Opposition Leader Ramesh Chennithala said the solar commission report had lost its credibility.
“The LDF government’s attempts to hunt down political rivals have failed,” he said. Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan’s plans to take cases against everyone mentioned in Saritha’s letter had been foiled, he said. KPCC president M. M. Hassan said the verdict was a setback to the LDF government and asked Mr Pinarayi Vijayan to apologise to Mr Chandy for defaming him.
