"Former principal secretary of the Kerala CMO M Sivasankar and Bineesh Kodiyeri, son of former CPIM State Secretary Kodiyeri Balakrishnan, were arrested on the same day. On that day, news came that there was such a case against me in the CPIM's party newspaper and party channel. Now a group is conspiring at the AKG Center. They are trying to trap and blame all the opposition leaders in the case. I cannot be weakened by such actions. Will move forward strongly. The wrongdoings of this government will be exposed to the people," he added. (ANI)
