Govindan issues legal notice to biz man over allegations of letter leak
1 2 3 T'puram: CPM state secretary M V Govindan has sent a legal notice to Muhammed Sharshad, a Chennai-based Keralite businessman, who accused his son Syamjith of leaking a letter Sharshad had written to the party's politburo against another businessman. The legal notice stated that Sharshad's wanton allegations were intended to damage Govindan's prestige. It said Govindan was deeply concerned, aggrieved and prejudiced by Sharshad's false and baseless statements, wherein he recklessly imputed corrupt practices and alleged misuse of political status, credibility and responsibility against Govindan. It mentioned that the letter, which Sharshad claimed to have been leaked using Govindan's influence, was circulating on social media and was released by Sharshad himself. The notice also reminded him of a letter he wrote to the CPM on May 17, 2024, in which Sharshad sought an apology for his allegations against Govindan. The notice demanded that Sharshad withdraw the allegations against Govindan within three days of receiving the notice publicly. It required him to publish a statement withdrawing the allegations through the same forums, desist from repeating such allegations and remove his allegations from social media. If Sharshad fails to do so, Govindan would be forced to initiate legal actions, it warned. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).
