New Delhi: Kerala Chief Minister VS Achuthanandan is feeling the heat with his controversial statement on slain NSG commando Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan's father drawing criticism from all quarters.
His party, the Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) has issued an apology, but Achuthanandan is in no mood to say sorry.
On the streets of Thiruvananthapuram, Achuthanandan is now being lampooned for his remarks denigrating the family of the slain NSG commando Unnikrishnan.
Achuthanandan had heaped scorn on the family saying, "If it wasn't for the Major, even a dog would not have glanced their way."
The Kerala Chief Minister's remarks came after he was turned away by the late Major's father K Unnikrishnan who was angry that Achuthanadan only chose to come by after the media critisiced him for not bothering to turn up for the officer's funeral.
Following Achuthanandan's insensitive and disparaging remarks, there is anger against politicians on the streets of Kerala too.
"The Chief Minister of Kerala should not have made such derogatory remarks," said a protestor while another demanded that Achuthanandan should apologise to Major Sandeep's family.
"We didn't expect such a statement form the Chief Minister of Kerala," another protestor said.
However, the Chief Minister has refused to apologise, choosing instead to take the politicians much abused route of clarifications.
"I did not comment any thing wrong. His wife and relatives told me his mental (status) is not good," said an unrepentant Achuthanandan.
