Thiruvananthapuram: CPM state secretary Kodiyeri Balakrishnan said Wednesday that the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is controlled by the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and that the CPM does not fear any probe.

"Don’t frighten the CPM through CBI probe. The CPM is not seeing the CBI for the first time," Kodiyeri told mediapersons after the High Court ordered a CBI probe into the murder of Youth Congress activist Shuhaib at Edayannur near Mattannur.

"The Kerala police is conducting a truthful probe in Shuhaib murder case. In this scenario, I do not why the High Court took the stand that the CBI should probe the case. The Congress and the BJP tried to turn the CBI probe demand into a political issue. The State has seen the CBI naming people who had no connection with a case, as accused in the case. If the same thing happens in this case also, we will face it legally and politically. The Sangh Parivar organizations are hunting down communists all over the country. Some people are trying to use the CBI probe to divert attention from the hunting down of communists. The Prime Minister, who says that communists will be wiped off, is controlling the CBI. If the probe is to nab the real culprits, we will cooperate. If not, we will resist it," Kodiyeri said.
