IN RESPONSE TO THE KERALA CM COMMENT ON NOT BEING LET INSIDE SANDEEP
UNNIKRISHNAN'S HOME AT BANGALORE.
"IF HE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN THE CHIEF MINISTER, EVEN A DIRTY PIG WOULD NOT HAVE
CONSIDERED HIM AS A HUMAN BEING"
WE INDIANS, ARE VERY VERY UNFORTUNATE TO HAVE POLITICIANS LIKE THESE. ILLITERACY
IS THE MAJOR REASON FOR THIS. I DONT THINK THERE IS GOING TO BE A RELIEF TO US
IN THIS BIRTH.
I WISH AN ASTEROID HITS THIS PART OF THE SOUTH ASIA AND BRING US TO AN END. A
NEW ERA COULD BEGIN.
