CPI(M) Leader Rajeev Denounces CM Satheesan's Waqf Board Claims
Chief Minister V D Satheesan and CPI(M) Leader P Rajeev are arguing about the Waqf Board and investments from the Tata Group.
Satheesan says the previous government made false claims about the Waqf Board and that Tata Group plans to invest a lot of money in Kerala.
Rajeev says Satheesan is lying and that the Supreme Court has not rejected pleas related to the Waqf Act.
Both leaders have different views on these issues.
CPI(M) Leader P Rajeev calls Chief Minister V D Satheesan's claims about Waqf Board appointments and Tata Group investments 'lies'.
Satheesan accuses Pinarayi Vijayan of making communal remarks and claims the state government sought dismissal of pleas challenging the current Waqf Board.
Rajeev states that the previous LDF administration's order did not mention 'non-Muslim' and that the Supreme Court has not rejected the pleas challenging the Waqf Act.
Satheesan claims Tata Group representatives met him and discussed investments worth Rs 10,000 crore in maritime sector projects.
Rajeev expects Satheesan to correct his stand on the Tata project issue.
