Friday, October 07, 2011: Opposition leader and CPM stalwart VS
Achuthanandan termed as baseless the allegations raised by Government
Chief Whip PC George that he had intervened in the appointment of Jijo
Joseph as the CEO of the Info Park in Kochi. Jijo Joseph is the relative
of former MP Sebastian Paul.
Speaking to the reporters here on Friday, CPM leader opined that the
government could conduct an investigation into the allegation raised by
George.
George alleged the appointment of Jijo Joseph as the CEO was unlawful
and a Vigilance probe should be conducted into the role of
Achuthanandan in it.
George alleged Achutanandan had committed breach of oath of office by
making “unlawful interventions” in the appointment of Jijo Joseph as
Infopark CEO because he was a close relative of Sebastin Paul, a former
LDF-supported independent MP and media critic.
The CEO was appointed on February 10 this year in violation of all
rules, including the decision of the selection committee, he charged,
demanding a vigilance probe.
CEO Joseph said he was prepared to face any probe. He said he had
worked with Infosys in the US for 12 years. Paul said he had nothing to
do with the appointment and dismissed George’s allegations as baseless.
