"I strongly believe that society will give an apt reply to those who think that they can benefit from this," the Chief Minister added.
Kerala Tourism Minister PA Mohammed Riyas on Wednesday said that it was not the first time that Swapna Suresh, an accused in the Kerala Gold smuggling case, had made allegations against Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan.
"After the government was formed in 2016, this is not the first time allegations are being made. Chief Minister and party Secretary have reacted to this. Our stand is also the same," said Mr Riyas who is also the son-in-law of Pinarayi Vijayan.
Chief Minister Vijayan on Tuesday hit back at "unsubstantial allegations" of currency smuggling made against him, which he said were "part of the political agenda".
Swapna Suresh had on Tuesday revealed that she has declared in court about the involvement of Pinarayi Vijayan, his wife and daughter in the 2020 gold smuggling case.
