Monday, August 22, 2011: Chief Minister Oommen Chandy today criticized Opposition leader V.S. Achuthanandan for alleging that the treasure was being smuggled from Sree Padmanabhaswamy temple by the members of the royal family. Speaking to the reporters here on Monday, Chandy said that Achuthanandan’s remark on the royal family could have been easily avoided. I am none to advice him on such issues,’ he said.
State Congress president Ramesh Chennithala said Achuthanandan’s remark did not suit his stature. Opposition leader earlier opined that they were trying to spread rumors that evil would fall if the sealed ‘B’ vault was opened.
The revelation comes at a time when the Royal family moved the Supreme Court on Friday, seeking direction not to open vault B, as such a step would hurt the sentiments of many devotees.
The petition also requested not to allow video recording of the treasure trove found inside the other chambers of the temple. The plea pointed out that opening of the B cellar would affect the traditional temple rituals.
