'It is just a political conspiracy and nothing else,' CPM state secretary M V Govindan said on Friday.
The SFIO had on Thursday filed a prosecution complaint in the CMRL bribery case in front of the Economic Offences Court, Kochi.
Satheesan pointed out that the CMRL bribery scam is not a political case like the SNC-Lavalin case or the Thiruvananthapuram gold smuggling case.
Veena and her company have been charged with section 447 of the Companies Act in the 160-page SFIO chargesheet.
Kerala BJP leader Shaun George, who is a party in the case, welcomed the court’s decision, stating that the SFIO can now proceed unhindered.
The submission was made during a hearing on a petition challenging the SFIO probe into financial dealings between CMRL and Exalogic.
CMRL staff told SFIO that the firm owned by CM's daughter not provided any services to their company.
He said the SFIO’s decision to record Veena’s statement, which comes 10 months after the investigation was announced, was nothing but a procedure.
The interrogation comes nearly 10 months after the case was registered.
The Kerala HC turned down the KSIDC's petition against the SFIO probe and asked the state government agency to cooperate with the investigation.
