inarayi Vijayan, Chief Minister of Kerala, who is in the Peye of a storm over reports about gold smuggling through diplomatic channel via Thiruvananthapuram Airport with the connivance of the Chief Minister’s Office, put the blame on the Central Government for its failure to check such activ- ities. “Airports in the country are all managed by the Central Government. The Customs officials deployed in these air- ports are Central Government officials and if smuggling of gold is happening in airports, it shows the incapability of the Centre. The Kerala Government has no role in it and we are always ready to help the investigating agencies with any help,” said the Chief Minister when he was asked the alleged role of his trusted official in the incident of gold smuggling through diplomatic channel. Vijayan pointed out that the parcel which arrived at the airport was addressed to the UAE Consulate and not to the Kerala Government. “The name of a lady (Swapna Suresh) has been roped in by some people to discredit the Chief Minister’s Office. She has no role in the CMO and she is not a staff of the CMO,” said the Chief Minister who decried the attempts by the Opposition to defame him by spreading fake news. The Chief Minister said that Swapna Suresh was hired by a placement agency to work for the IT Department based on her previous experience in the UAE Consulate and Air India SATS (Singapore Airport Terminal Services) . “You have to find out who helped her to get a job in Air India SATS , a Central Government owned enterprise. We in Kerala Government do not have anything to do with her,” said the Chief Minister.    !"!"    .
