He said the chief minister is afraid of touching the ADGP as he could spill the beans and put his government in jeopardy.
He repeated the allegation that the Thrissur Pooram was disrupted by the then Thrissur police commissioner, Ankit Asokan, with the knowledge of the ADGP and the chief minister to create a Hindu polarisation in favour of BJP in the Lok Sabha polls.
Meanwhile, the Congress has decided to organise protests in the state seeking the resignation of chief minister Pinarayi vijayan in the light of the serious allegations raised by the CPI-M backed independent MLA PV Anvar against the chief minister’s office.
An online meeting of the KPCC office bearers on Wednesday decided to begin the protest with a secretariat march on September 6.
In this connection, a petition has been filed in the Kerala High Court seeking a central agency investigation into the allegations against ADGP MR Ajith Kumar and others, based on the allegations raised by PV Anvar MLA. The petitioner is filed by George Vattukulam, a social activist from Thrissur.
