Pinarayi Vijayan Criticizes Congress for 'Self-Serving' Stance on ED Actions

In a sharp critique of the Congress party, former Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has accused the opposition party of adopting a 'self-serving' approach towards enforcement actions by central agencies. Speaking on the issue, Vijayan alleged that the Congress only raises its voice when its own members come under scrutiny, while remaining indifferent to similar actions against other political adversaries.

Vijayan's remarks come amidst growing concerns over the alleged misuse of central investigative agencies like the Enforcement Directorate (ED) by the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). He condemned what he described as the BJP's manipulation of these institutions to target opposition leaders, calling it a threat to democratic principles. "The selective outrage by Congress only weakens the collective fight against such authoritarian tactics," Vijayan stated.

The former Chief Minister emphasized the need for a united front among opposition parties to resist what he termed as the BJP's 'undemocratic' practices. He urged all political entities to rise above partisan interests and focus on safeguarding the country's democratic framework.

Vijayan's comments highlight the growing rift within the opposition, as parties struggle to present a cohesive response to the BJP's alleged centralization of power. His call for unity underscores the importance of collective action in countering the challenges posed by the current political climate.
