The Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM), BJP’s youth wing, is likely to hold a protest seeking the CM’s resignation over the gold smuggling case in Kerala at 5pm on Tuesday.
Days after Swapna Suresh, an accused in the Kerala gold smuggling case, revealed the involvement of the Kerala CM and his officials, various groups of Kerala Congress have been protesting seeking the resignation of chief minister Pinnaryi Vijayan.
Former Kerala minister and CPI (M) leader KT Jaleel had filed a complaint with the police against the allegations leveled by the Kerala gold smuggling case accused, Swapna Suresh.
The gold smuggling case prime accused, Swapna Suresh, on Monday filed a plea in the Kerala HC to quash an FIR filed by the Kerala Police against her alleging conspiracy against the Vijayan government by raising "baseless allegations."
