CPI targeted BJP

At the same time, the CPI strongly condemned the reports that it has been said that YouTuber Jyoti Malhotra arrested on charges of espionage was invited by the Kerala government to promote tourism in the state. CPI MP P Sandosh Kumar said in a statement, “The Communist Party of India strongly condemns the BJP’s attempt to drag the Kerala government in the spy case to hide its serious failures on national security.”

‘This desperate and inspired attempt from politics’

The CPI MP said that it is absurd to say that the state government is responsible for a YouTuber’s visit to Pakistan, while issuing passports, visa approval and intelligence monitoring are all under the control of the central government. The CPI MP said, “Did the Kerala government approve his (Jyoti) visit to Pakistan? Did the government keep him in touch with ISI operators in Delhi? It is desperate and politics -inspired attempt.”
