Probe against former Sports Minister V. Abdurahiman a farce: CPI(M)

The Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] State secretariat on Friday called the probe against former Sports Minister V. Abdurahiman in connection with the proposed visit of the Argentinian football team a farce intended to hide the government’s administrative failure and internal struggles within the UDF.

The attempt to depict Mr. Abdurahiman and his former personal staff as corrupt will be dealt with legally and politically, the CPI(M) State secretariat said in a statement.

The UDF government was investigating a proposed event for which the government did not spend any money and which did not even take place, the CPI(M) said. The UDF government has been unable to explain the nature of corruption and what the lapses were on the part of the former Minister and the previous LDF government, the party said.
