CPI(M) demanded that the President intervene and take action against Puducherry Lt Governor Iqbal Singh, who is embroiled in a controversy over alleged links with suspected money launderer Hasan Ali Khan.
Communist Party of India (Marxist) conducted a protest outside the Raj Nivas, when its members sought the immediate recall of Mr. Singh by the President. CPIM Tamil Nadu State committee member T. Murugan said that the Lieutenant Governor had “misused his powers” and took decisions that favoured the Trust in which his sons were members.
He said that the argument of Mr. Singh that he was not aware of the credentials of tax evader Hasan Ali when he recommended expeditious issuance of passport for him could not be accepted. “The truth in this issue would come out only if the investigations are carried out after removing him from his post,” he said. He came down on the ''inefficient'' Congress government for allegedly issuing a No Objection Certificate to a medical college to be set up at Karaikal by a trust, which reportedly has his relatives in it. "Even Chief Secretary R Chandramohan's clarification later on the essentiality certificate issued to the trust to start the college were inspid," he alleged. Further, starting on Friday, the party would show black flags to Mr. Singh whenever he stepped out of Raj Nivas, he said.
