Sabarimala Gold Theft Case Amit Shah Targets Pinarayi
- Sabarimala gold theft case sparks demand for neutral probe
- Sabarimala gold theft case raised as national devotee issue
Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday strongly criticised the Left Democratic Front government led by Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan over the Sabarimala gold theft case. He alleged that the state government was supporting those responsible for the disappearance of gold from the Sabarimala shrine. Therefore, he demanded that the Sabarimala gold theft case be handed over to an independent and impartial investigation agency. He also said the truth would not emerge while the present Pinarayi Vijayan government remained in power.
Amit Shah visited Thiruvananthapuram after the BJP led NDA won the Thiruvananthapuram Corporation in the recent local body elections. This was his first visit to the state after that victory. During the visit, he addressed newly elected BJP representatives. He also launched the party’s Mission 2026 campaign. Meanwhile, his visit gained political importance as Kerala Assembly elections are scheduled to be held this year.
Referring to the Sabarimala gold theft case, Amit Shah said the issue was not limited to Kerala alone. He said it concerned devotees across the country. He questioned how a government that failed to protect valuable items at such an important shrine could safeguard the religious beliefs of people. He also alleged that the FIR in the Sabarimala gold theft case appeared to have been prepared in favour of the accused. According to him, two suspects in the case were linked to the LDF, which raised serious doubts about the fairness of the investigation.
Later, Amit Shah reiterated his demand for a neutral probe into the Sabarimala gold theft case. He said, “This is democracy. I demand the CM to hand over the investigation of the case to a neutral agency.” He also announced that the BJP would go door to door to campaign on this issue. He said the party would create awareness among people about the case and the alleged failures of the state government.
Speaking further, Amit Shah expressed confidence about the BJP’s future in the region. He said elections in Kerala and West Bengal would be held at the same time. He also stated that the BJP would form governments in both states. He added that the party had moved a step forward with its recent local body election victory. He said the BJP would not stop until a BJP Chief Minister was formed in Kerala. He further said Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision was a developed India by 2047. According to him, a developed India was possible only with a developed Kerala. (Maxim News)
