Congress Slams Kerala Government over Hema Committee Report
The Congress-led opposition in Kerala has raised questions about the Hema Committee report, accusing the Pinarayi Vijayan government of covering up crimes in the film industry. V D Satheesan claims the government is protecting key individuals and has not taken action against those implicated. The opposition is demanding transparency and accountability.
The Congress-led opposition in Kerala launched a fierce critique of the Left government, raising significant questions about the Hema Committee report. The opposition accused the Pinarayi Vijayan-led administration of a massive cover-up and shielding influential figures by omitting critical details.
Leader of Opposition V D Satheesan claimed the government is defensive about the Hema Committee findings. He stated, 'The administration is playing hide-and-seek to protect specific individuals, creating a public perception of widespread issues in the film industry.' Satheesan highlighted that this impacts even the innocent, demanding the government address the core issues transparently.
The controversy stems from the disrupted revelations of crimes within the film sector, as detailed by the Hema Committee. Satheesan's demands include investigating these crimes, protecting victims, and addressing the rampant use of narcotics in the industry. He pressed for a decisive government action to create a safer working environment. Amid the swirling allegations, a seven-member special investigation team was recently announced to delve deeper into these issues.
