Kozhikode, Jun 9: Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan's daughter Veena T is all set to marry DYFI National President and CPM state committee member PA Muhammad Riyas on June 15. Interestingly, it's the second marriage for both.
Veena, the elder daughter of Pinarayi Vijayan and Kamala Vijayan, is an IT entrepreneur based in Bengaluru.
According to sources, the marriage will be a simple function in Thiruvananthapuram where only close relatives will participate. The marriage registration has already been done.
"It's only a private affair of two individuals," Riyas told media persons, reluctant to divulge more details.
The 44-year-old Muhammad Riyas started his political career with the Students Federation of India (SFI) and climbed up the rungs through DYFI. He had unsuccessfully contested against UDF's M K Raghavan from Kozhikode parliament constituency in 2009.
The son of retired IPS officer P M Abdul Khadar, Riyas is the familiar face of the left in primetime TV discussions, strongly articulating the CPM stance.
A law graduate, he had begun at the grassroots level and gradually worked his way up the ladder.
His marriage to Dr Sameeha Saithalavi, a former syndicate member of Calicut University, happened in 2002. The couple separated in 2015 and they have two sons aged 10 and 13.
The 40-plus Veena is MD of the IT firm Exalogic Solutions since 2014.
Prior to that, she was the CEO of RT Technosoft, a Thiruvananthapuram-based company owned by NRI industrialist Ravi Pillai. Before that, she had a six-year stint with Oracle. She has a son from her first marriage.
"They both were divorced for more than five years. They knew each other and the marriage decision was taken by them only. It's completely a private affair," said a DYFI leader.

By the face of gatherings, seems most of them are paid jobless. The pain and loss only effect on respective family members and his dependents. Peace loving public should not respond to any kind of political gain or to support politicians. Support victims family and fight for the justice.
Fellow appearing with smile really unfortunate and non sense behaviour
are danger to human kind. Seems these are the main members of criminal group. Department must keep close watch on such groups.
This height of Politics Even the dead are not spared in INDIA !
Firstly perform the last rights of the DEAD and then protest, every soul should have Peace and Justice.
Crime never pays it will come to light sooner or later, for example the case of RTI activist murder.
