The ethics committee of the Kerala Legislative Assembly has issued a notice to the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to clarify why the company had sought information of the Life Mission mission from the State authorities.
The Legislative Secretariat had issued the breach of privilege notice primarily based on a grievance from Communist Party of India (Marxist) legislator James Mathew. He alleged that the ED’s intrusive and legally questionable inquiry into Life Mission had hobbled the federal government’s effort to present free and trendy housing for the poor.
The authorities had promised the Assembly that the mission would progress quick. The ED’s motion was tantamount to breach of legislative privilege. The Assembly gave ED every week to reply.
Leader of the Opposition Ramesh Chennithala slammed the transfer as an overzealous motion on the a part of Speaker P. Sreeramakrishnan. He mentioned the ED’s investigation into an alleged cash laundering offence was not tantamount to breach of legislative privilege.
He mentioned Mr. Sreeramakrishnan behaved as if he was “more loyal than the king”. Mr. Chennithala mentioned he would petition the Speaker to withdraw the notice to the ED.
