Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee president V.M. Sudheeran on Wednesday urged Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan to drop lawyer M.K. Damodaran from the post of special legal adviser to the Chief Minister. Talking to mediapersons here, Mr. Sudheeran said Mr. Damodaran had already brought disrepute to the Chief Minister and his government by taking stands opposed to the collective stand of Kerala society on crucial issues. Mr. Sudheeran came down on the Chief Minister for allowing his legal adviser to argue a case of controversial lottery operator Santiago Martin.
