Political scuffle along with the rising cases are taking place in the state of Kerala. Recently, Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan denounced the attack on cabinet colleague KT Jaleel during which a car tried to block the Minister’s official vehicle in Kollam. Demonstrators across the state have been necessitating the withdrawal of Minister Jaleel after he was summoned for questioning by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Friday. On Monday, after another day of protests, CM Pinarayi informed the media that Jaleel had done no wrong and that the bureaus were carrying out their normal method.

The issue started several weeks ago when news of a consignment of the Islamic holy book Quran surfaced in connection with the notorious gold smuggling case. Minister Jaleel had received copies of the holy book from the United Arab Emirates Consulate. CM Pinaryi said in response to questions that “The questioning is in connection with the consignment of Qurans. It came because of a complaint sent to the investigative agency. It is the agency’s responsibility to probe such complaints and find out the truth."

'It’s never a crime to circulate religious books you get from the Consulate and Jaleel has only been doing what’s normal in these circumstances,' the Chief Minister said. He blamed ‘certain people’ of spreading rumours knowingly, only to create confounding about the government. CM Pinarayi fostered the allegations by some media on Minister EP Jayarajan’s wife Indira breaking quarantine to go to a bank and open a locker. While Indira had herself released a video earlier to explain she was not in quarantine and opening a locker to buy gifts for her grandchildren was no crime, CM Pinarayi went on to add that such rumors were spread consciously.
