Kerala CMO and Congress Clash Over Sabarimala Gold Probe
There's a big argument in Kerala about who is responsible for the disappearance of gold from the Sabarimala temple.
The Congress party says the Chief Minister's Office is trying to interfere with the investigation.
They even warned they might reveal the names of police officers if the pressure doesn't stop.
The Chief Minister, Pinarayi Vijayan, hit back by saying some people linked to the case had meetings with Sonia Gandhi, a big leader in the Congress.
The BJP, another political party, is also involved, saying there's a bigger political plot involving both the Congress and the Chief Minister's party.
Everyone is waiting to see what happens next, especially because there's an important election coming up in Kerala.
Congress alleges Kerala CMO is interfering in the Sabarimala gold loss case probe.
Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan accuses Congress leader Sonia Gandhi of links with accused individuals.
BJP demands a federal probe, alleging a larger political conspiracy involving both Congress and CMO.
Congress warns of disclosing officers' identities if pressure on the SIT continues.
High Court's intervention is seen as crucial for the probe's progress.
