Is opposition legislator’s arrest, political vendetta for CM Vijayan?

Thiruvananthapuram, Nov 7 : In what could be seen as a tit for tat, the Pinarayi Vijayan government, caught in numerous scams and serious allegations, on Saturday reportedly saw to it that Indian Union Muslim League – opposition legislator M.C.Kamaruddin was arrested in a jewellery scam case that took place in Kasargod district.
The IUML is the second biggest ally of the Congress-led UDF.
For the past three months this case had attracted lot of attention after angry investors were up in arms when Fashion Gold Jewellery, headquartered at Kasaragod district went bust, leaving hundreds of investors in wilderness and was vehemently demanding the return of the money.
Kamaruddin is the chairman of the firm and their total liabilities towards their investors is in excess of Rs 10 crores.
When the criticism increased, the IUML leadership got together and despite their best efforts, they were unable to protect their legislator as they were unable to give any assurance on when the investors would get back their money.
His arrest was on the cards since Saturday morning and it became a certainty when Kasargode, Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Vivek Kumar informed the media that the MLA would be arrested and it occurred in the evening.
