Tuesday, September 20, 2011: The Joint Assembly committee
constituted to probe the allegations against Opposition Leader VS Achuthanandan’s son VA Arun Kumar, today
collected statements from State IT secretary, T Balakrishnan.
Balakrishnan, told the committee that Arun Kumar was
appointed as director of ICTA academy after violating rules. The academy is
funded by the Centre.
Balakrishnan also said that the academy was registered as a
charitable society under IHRD with CM as the chairman and Arun as the director
of the academy.
The appointment was made immediately after submitting a
letter for permission to start the academy to the central finance ministry and
that is violation of rules, he said. But VS stated in assembly that there was
no such society.
After the assembly session the committee headed by VD
Satheesan MLA will continue the probe. The committee has been probing the four
allegations leveled against Arun by PC Vishnu Nath in the Assembly. The
committee will also collect statements from VS Achuthanandan and PC Vishnu
Nath.
The previous LDF government had appointed Arun Kumar as the
ICT academy director prior to the Kerala Assembly elections.
