CPM alleges Enforcement Directorate has long pursued Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan in money‑laundering probe

The CPI(M) issued a statement accusing the central Enforcement Directorate of maintaining a prolonged campaign against Kerala chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan in connection with a money‑laundering case. The party described the probe as politically motivated and said it has been ongoing for an extended period, without providing details of any alleged financial irregularities. No official response from the Enforcement Directorate was obtained at the time of reporting, and the matter has not yet been presented before a court. The allegation emerges amid heightened political scrutiny in Kerala, where opposition parties are also questioning the timing of the investigation. CPI(M) called on the central government to ensure that investigative agencies operate without partisan bias.
