Thrissur , Former Keralam chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Saturday said his hands and those of his daughter T Veena and other family members were clean and asserted that none of them had engaged in any hawala dealings.
Because she was his daughter, he strongly defended Veena, saying several issues were being raised only. “Neither I, my daughter nor any member of my family has done any hawala dealings. I am fully convinced about that. “Veena is not the owner of a lot of property. “In this case, a press release was issued. In the press release, it mentioned my name as P Vijayan. Why was it necessary to say that?” he asked.
Reacting to the Enforcement Directorate’s money laundering probe against Veena, Vijayan said she had cooperated with the investigation and would continue to provide all information sought by the agency. These hands are clean and will remain clean,” Vijayan said. The amount of money being talked about is also not huge,” he said at a press conference here. It also says former chief minister.
He alleged that certain media organisations were publishing reports against him without evidence and questioned the basis of a report that money received by Veena was transferred to the account of her husband and former state minister Mohammed Riyas.
Vijayan said Veena had cooperated with the probe and would have no hesitation in providing information to the agency in future as well. Vijayan’s remarks came two days after the ED, in a press release, said it had seized handwritten notes during searches at Veena’s premises in May, which allegedly contained details of certain fund transfers to Dubai.
