Minister Sivankutty Alleges Sonia Gandhi’s Involvement in Sabarimala Gold Robbery, Demands Raid and Arrest
Thiruvananthapuram: Kerala Minister V. Sivankutty has ignited a political firestorm by publicly demanding a raid on the residence of former Congress President Sonia Gandhi and her subsequent arrest in connection with the ongoing Sabarimala gold robbery case. The explosive remarks were made during a heated session of the Legislative Assembly, where the opposition was protesting over the very same Sabarimala issue.
Addressing the assembly amidst the uproar, Minister Sivankutty launched a direct attack on the Congress leader. “The opposition is not uttering a single word about Sonia Gandhi. Sonia Gandhi should be apprehended and subjected to interrogation. A thorough raid must be conducted at Sonia Gandhi’s residence, as there is gold present in her house,” Sivankutty asserted, his statements immediately drawing sharp reactions from the opposition benches.
The Minister further escalated his allegations by claiming that an individual identified as Unnikrishnan Potti had visited Sonia Gandhi’s house on two separate occasions and had handed over gold to her. Sivankutty demanded clarification on the origin of this gold. The assembly session witnessed a dramatic turn when, in response to the opposition’s chants of ‘Pottiye.. Kettiye…’ (a colloquial reference), the ruling party, led by Sivankutty, retaliated with slogans like ‘Who stole the gold? It’s Congress, Ayyappa’.
Sivankutty continued to press his points, questioning the purpose of Potti’s alleged double visits to Sonia Gandhi’s residence and demanding to know who facilitated these meetings. The intense verbal exchange and opposition protests ultimately led to the adjournment of the Legislative Assembly for the day, leaving behind a trail of controversy and political accusations. The minister’s claims are expected to fuel further political debate and investigation into the Sabarimala gold robbery case.
