Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said the other day that of the total quantity of smuggled gold and hawala money seized by Kerala police, the major share was from Malappuram district. It means smuggling mafia and hawala lobby are firmly entrenched in the district. Had someone else said it the leftists in Kerala would have denied it and termed it as an attempt to communally divide Kerala and portray Muslims in bad light. Now since Pinarayi himself said it there is no such interpretation.
Kerala's left groups including CPM have a love-hate relationship with radical islamists. Left become friends with them when it suits their interests. The Left would break away when they find it inconvenient. Why did Pinarayi make the statement now when it could be like admitting his own failure as CM?
There is another issue also. Are the smuggling and hawala lobbies in Malappuram linked with terror funding? Will Pinarayi retract his statement or will he act? Listen to the video.
