- Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan denies that any summons was received, stating neither he nor his son saw such a notice.
- Leader of Opposition V. D. Satheesan alleges the notice was concealed and claims follow‑up was stalled under political influence, citing repeated adjournments tied to legacy cases.
- CPI(M) general secretary M. A. Baby dismisses the reporting as absurd and accuses sections of the media of parroting opposition narratives.
- State Congress chief Sunny Joseph questions the silence of the ED and the BJP, asks whether the notice was delivered to the official residence or redirected as per procedure, and demands documentary clarity on the case status.
