Thiruvananthapuram: Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan’s daughter Veena, a software engineer, is getting married to the CPI-M youth wing, Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) national President Mohammed Riyas.
This would be the second marriage for both, as their first ones ended in a divorce.
Riaz is a lawyer by profession and had contested the Kozhikode Lok Sabha seat in 2009 but lost to the Congress’ M.K.Raghavan.
The 44-year-old law graduate is the son of retired IPS officer P.M. Abdul Khadar. He has two sons in his first marriage with Dr Sameetha. The couple separated in 2015.
Veena is an IT entrepreneur based in Bengaluru and MD of Exalogic Solutions. She also has a son from her first marriage.
While Veena has one child from her earlier marriage, Riaz has two.
While the marriage has been registered recently, the wedding event would be held here, on June 15, and would be a closed door affair, in line with the present Covid protocols.
