Suresh Gopi Questions ED Raids on Mammootty and Dulquer, Flags Sabarimala Gold Distraction
BJP leader and actor Suresh Gopi has raised questions over recent Enforcement Directorate (ED) raids on prominent Malayalam film stars Mammootty, his son Dulquer Salmaan, and Prithviraj Sukumaran. Speaking during a grassroots interaction called ‘Culvert Sabha,’ Gopi wondered if these high-profile raids were an attempt to divert public attention from the ongoing controversy surrounding the missing Sabarimala temple gold.
The ED raids, which targeted these celebrities over alleged financial irregularities, have stirred significant public and media interest. Suresh Gopi expressed skepticism, suggesting the timing of the raids might be politically motivated to “bury” the Sabarimala gold issue that has sparked widespread debate and protests in Kerala.
The comments add to the heated discourse around the state’s political climate, with critics accusing authorities of using legal actions to shift focus from sensitive cultural and religious matters. The investigations are ongoing, with no official link established between the raids and the gold controversy yet.
