HOW DARE YOU MR. ACHUTANANDAN!

The country in general and Keralites in specific should rebel in one voice against the Kerala CM’s crass remarks. How dare he abuse a slain martyr’s family? Our politicians were spineless we always knew but they would indulge in such loose talk against the father of a hero killed in action defies all norms.

First the home state does not send any representative on Major Sandip Unnikrishnan’s funeral and then only under extreme public pressure the chief minister along with his home minister arrives only after the family has already declared they won’t meet political visitors. The father who was already broken hearted and grieving at his young son’s demise was further hurt and humiliated at the manner in which the people at the helm of his own home state had behaved. His outburst was one of pain and disillusionment. Couldn’t Mr. Achutanandan have shown more grace and not used such disgusting language. This terror incident has truly unveiled the ugly faces of our politicians who strut around wearing masks of empathy and concern.

The entire state of Kerala should rise and throw out such a chief minister. He should realize he is alive at this ripe old age because men like Sandip die at young ages.
