Thiruvananthapuram: Chief Minister Oommen Chandy has threatened to sue Opposition leader V.S. Achuthanandan if he does not apologise and stop spreading “blatant lies.”
The Opposition leader had alleged that the Chief Minister had 31 cases pending against him and 136 against his ministers in the SC.
The CM in a statement here on Sunday said that he should “immediately tell me which these cases are. If he does not, I will be forced to take legal steps against him.”
“A mere complaint or a petition does not become a case. For registering a case, the first step is registering an FIR. Mr Achuthanandan should produce one FIR to prove the allegations," he said.
“The only FIR (involving the government) is against former finance minister K.M. Mani. The vigilance submitted a report to the court exonerating him. It is now under the consideration of the vigilance court.”
Earlier, Mr Achuthanandan had made another allegation of assigning land illegally to Shafi Mether, the CM’s former economic adviser, against which he has filed a defamation.
