Jaleel’s relative quits minorities corp post
Nov 12, 2018, 00:06 ISTThiruvananthapuram/Kozhikode: K T Adeeb, the relative of minister K T Jaleel whose appointment as general manager of Kerala Minorities Development Finance Corporation had kicked up a row, has resigned from his post.
KSMDFC managing director V K Akbar confirmed that he had received an e-mail from Adeeb seeking to end his deputation and allow him to return to South Indian Bank, his parent firm. "Abeeb said in the email that he had taken up the post to serve people but the controversy over his posting hurt his self-respect and he is not interested to continue in the post. A director board meeting of the corporation will take a decision on his request on Monday," he said.
The opposition had alleged that Adeeb was posted without giving any advertisement and qualifications diluted to favour him. The CPM state secretariat had rallied behind the minister and rejected the opposition demand for his resignation.
