THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: CPM state secretariat on Thursday termed the media reports on Rs 13 crore financial fraud committed by Kodiyeri Balakrishnan's son, Binoy Vinodini Balakrishnan, as fake and baseless. In a statement, the secretariat said the allegations based on the complaint of a Dubai based company, have been found to be baseless and untrue. It said there was no case pending against Mr Binoy who has been residing in Dubai since 2003 anywhere in the UAE.
The secretariat said he had himself clarified that there was no case or travel ban. Moreover, none has provided any evidence or document to prove otherwise. It said the LDF government or the CPM state leadership could not do anything about a financial transaction reportedly took place in a foreign country. By hiding these facts, a section of media unleashed defamatory reports and conducted debates with an ulterior motive.
The secretariat said using differences between two parties over reported financial transactions as a stick to beat the CPIM with smacked of a political conspiracy. Holding that Mr Balakrishnan had no relations to the allegations, the CPM urged the people to reject them with the contempt it deserved. On its Facebook page, CPIM Kerala, the party said another lie had been exposed and that the allegations were part of the manufactured reports on the eve of crucial party conferences. "With the Dubai police and Dubai courts providing clean chit to Binoy, the allegations have fallen flat," it says.
