NEW DELHI: Opposition leader V S Achuthanandan submitted to the court more documents sought by the Supreme Court in connection with the corruption in palmolein case. I intervened in the case as a representative of the people and not for any political gains, he explained. In the counter affidavit, he pointed out that the Supreme Court had permitted him to join the case as a plaintiff in 2006.
VS said, “I just want to bring to light the corruption in the import of palmolein. From the beginning the UDF Government tried to topple the case. They lastly filed a plea to withdraw the vigilance case but was rejected by the Kerala High Court. I don’t have any political agenda in the case. I just want the guilty to be punished. The vigilance has so far not investigated the role of Chief Minister Oommen Chandy in the case.”
When the case was considered earlier, the Supreme Court had asked VS whether he was using judicial forums for political agenda. The court criticized the leader saying that he was trying to fish in troubled waters.
