A leader's ego

Yet another disgusting crapshow by our politicians:

These are the words of one of our leaders.

The country is in turmoil. The people are furious at the apathy and reactions (or lack of ) of our politicians to the repeated strikes on our lives. It would have been pretty big of VS Achuthanandan had he accepted or even tried to understand the reaction of Major Unnikrishnan's father when he tried to visit.

Politicians visiting the families of the heroes seems like a farce, even every child in the country has a negative opinion of them; what else could they be trying to gain from these visits, but political mileage?

But these are the words of a leader, perhaps there is absolutely nothing that sets him apart from a small and cheap minded man; insulting the family of a martyr just to satisfy his bruised ego. Is this the best that we have?
