Achutanandan's remarks..

A lot is being made from Achutanandan's reported remarks against the family of slain NSG Major Mr. Unnikrishnan. I should admit here that I think the Chief minister should have observed some restraint in reacting to the Major's father's reported slurs at him.

The only question at the back of my mind is: Why should he visit the late Major's residence in Bangalore at all ?

If it wasn't to impress upon the people of his state, he should not have visited at all. After all Major Unnikrishnan has died for the country and not for Kerala and the nearest top ranking politician i.e. the Karnataka CM has already visited to pay respect to the national hero and his family.

update:

Just watched the video of Major's father turning away the Kerala CM and HM. It was disgusting to see someone say naayinglaa (meaning dogs) and pongada (chal nikal re in hindi) to people of such high positions. Its not acceptable in anyway. He didn't have any moral right to abuse a peoples representative in that manner.
