The customs department has done a good job by seizing 30 kg of gold from an air cargo shipment from the United Arab Emirates to the country's consulate in the state capital of Kerala.
The Kerala government transferring its information technology secretary M Sivasankar amid allegations of his links to the gold smuggling racket is a serious problem and it highlights CM's involvement in the case. The current contraband of 30 kg of gold from a diplomatic shipment may not be the first.
The action of the customs department embarrassed the state government. The CM saying that he is not aware of appointments in his department is laughable. Even if he was not involved, he could have resigned from his post on moral ground..
