New Delhi – Minister of State for External Affairs V. Muralidharan is against Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan’s foreign travel. He said that the Chief Minister is misleading the people by going on a merry-go-round at the expense of the people. Muralidharan’s statement at a press conference in Delhi.
The Chief Minister should explain what was the benefit of traveling abroad. Pinarayi Vijayan is a modern-day Nero who goes on a merry-go-round with his family when the state is saddled with a debt of Rs 3.5 lakh crore.
The Chief Minister said that the government is not bearing the cost of the trip. The Department of External Affairs was informed that it was at the expense of the Government. If not, on what understanding do private individuals or monopolists bear this cost? Is the chief minister of the labor party to go on a pleasure trip at the expense of the hardworking expatriates?
Pinarayi Vijayan is on a foreign tour while people are in fear. What happened was not reported to the Ministry of External Affairs. The family was not informed that they would be taken. The Chief Minister says that it is an official trip. If it is an official trip, let him himself say for which things he has taken the permission of the Union Ministry of External Affairs. I’ll finish it. Permission to go abroad has been obtained. The Chief Minister should say what has been done according to the purpose of that trip. Nothing related to informing the center is known to have happened there. Let the Chief Minister tell what is meant by official travel. No one can stop the family from going on their own. My question is what is the purpose of his official trip?
It has not been said that MoUs will be signed with foreign countries. It is said that Kerala and the UK have signed an MoU. According to the constitution, external affairs are under the purview of the central government. V. Muraleedharan said that the state governments cannot sign any agreement without central approval.
English Summary: Pinarayi Vijayan is a modern Nero; didn’t inform about his family being escorted
