THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The CPI-M state leadership on Saturday claimed that the Centre had violated basic guidelines while ordering a CBI probe a day earlier into Life Mission project, calling it a "political move". "There is a way a CBI probe is announced — either the state should ask for it, or the High Court. Moreover, the state should not have been kept in the dark," said CPI(M) State Secretary K Balakrishnan.(IANS)
