Insensitivty

Smarting under the snub of the father of Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan, the slain National Security Guard (NSG) commando, Kerala Chief Minister V.S. Achuthanandan Monday reacted strongly, saying had it not been the house of the officer “not even a dog would have gone that way”

I just hope and wish that at least one of the hostages that Major Sandeep helped save, if not the Major's colleagues from the Army, take the Kerala CM to task for this insensitive remark. When I say 'take him to task', I, for one, wouldn't be surprised if someone just decides to bump him off. All the other statements that have been made - Vilasrao Deshmukh's justifications, R R Patil's DDLJ stunt, Naqvi's male chauvinism and some other leader's stupid remark about how netas wouldn't be doing chaukasi themselves are all passe. Here is a man insulting a man who has just lost his young son just because he has snubbed him. Forget the fact that you are dealing with a martyr, if it had been your worst enemy and he had reacted in this way after his son't death, you would have just let it go because you know that the man is going through hell anyways and you wouldn't have raised a hue and cry even if you had been insulted. But you are not V S Achuthanandan; you are sensitive, you are sensible, you are civil, you are not a barbaric animal like Achuthanandan. #$%^ him.
