Without the knowledge of CM, it is impractical to sign deep sea fishing agreement, says Hassan

Kannur, Mar 25 (UNI) Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) Convenor M M Hassan on Thursday said that "without the knowledge of Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, signing the agreement for deep sea fishing by the Kerala Shipping and Inland Navigation Corporation Ltd (KSINC) with EMCC, a US company, is impractical."
Addressing a meet-the-press programme at Kannur Press club, Mr Hassan said that the comments made by Mr Vijayan that he was not aware about the agreement signed with EMCC was not believable.
He alleged that the Enforcement Directorate (ED) officials have not questioned the Chief Minister in the dollar smuggling case so far and this is suspected to be a part of understanding with BJP leadership.
Mr Hassan predicted that the people will vote for the UDF candidates in the April 6 Assembly election and teach a lesson to the corrupt CPI(M)-led Left Democratic Front (LDF) government.
