The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the following statement:

 

The front page  lead story in the Malayala Manorma  that the Central leadership of CPI(M) has rejected the explanation given on the Sprinkler issue from Kerala is as false as it is baseless. It is unfortunate that a reputed daily is spreading false news.

 

At a time when the Kerala LDF Government has taken exemplary  lead in the fight against Covid-19, along with providing the marginalized sections of societies including guest workers’ safety and succour, such a false story is motivated to denigrate the excellent work done by the government and the people of Kerala in fighting the pandemic.

 

The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) is confident that the people of Kerala will not pay any heed to such fabricated reports.
