Kerala chief minister V.S. Achutanandan was turned away by a furious father of Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan, a commando who was killed during the Mumbai terror strikes. The father was apparently angry and insulted when the chief minister’s security detail sent sniffer dogs and commandos ahead of the ‘condolence’ visit. Now, the chief minister hits back by saying, “Even a dog would not have come here if it had not been for Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan becoming a martyr.”
That remark has set off a storm, not least among Achutanandan’s communist comrades. NDTV has the story:
“Adding unimaginable insult to injury,” that is what the Kerala chief minister said when a father who had just lost his only son turned away politicians.
