UDF convener MM Hassan said that the statement made by the former CPI minister in the LDF government, is shocking. He demanded a thorough investigation based on the revelations of C Divakaran.
“The UDF has been claiming that there has been a conspiracy to frame former Chief Minister Oommen Chandy in the solar scandal and this has been substantiated with the revelations made by the CPI leader,” said Hassan on Saturday.
Senior Congress leader, K C Joseph also called for a thorough probe into Divakaran’s allegations
K C Joseph said the statement that “Justice Sivarajan took a bribe of Rs 5 crore to file a report against former Chief Minister Oommen Chandy” is very serious and hence it has to be investigated to bring out the truth on who paid this amount.
In his autobiography released last week , Divakaran claimed that Justice Sivarajan had written the report against Oommen Chandy after taking a bribe of Rs 5 crore. He also claimed that the LDF siege in front of the Secretariat was called off all of a sudden after a secret pact with the UDF by a section of CPI-M leaders.
