New Delhi (PTI): The CPI(M) on Tuesday described as "regrettable" Kerala Chief Minister V S Achuthanandan's remarks made during his visit to the Bangalore residence of the slain NSG commando, Sandeep Unnikrishnan.
"Certain remarks of V S Achuthanandan are regrettable. I have spoken to him over the phone on the matter," party General Secretary Prakash Karat said in a statement from Rajasthan.
Karat said Achuthanandan had "assured that he had no other intention but to go to the home of Sandeep Unnikrishnan, who was brutally killed by terrorists in Mumbai, to pay homage and condole the family."
The Kerala Chief Minister had ignited a controversy after being "snubbed" by the angry father of the NSG officer, when he went to Bangalore to offer his condolences.
