Happy Holi everyone. This morning is full of colours... social networking sites are flooded with photos of men/women/children immersed in assorted colours.... happy and gay... but amidst all these post what caught my was that yesterday i.e. 15th March was the birth day of our national hero Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan. We all remember him right??? He is the 31 year old NSG man who sacrificed his live in a fierce battle at the Taj Hotel in Mumbai during November 2008.
Major Unnikrishnana born on 15th March 1977... an only child.. his father was an retired ISRO officer. What a brave man he is... like father like son I must say. After Major Unnikrishanan's death whole nation mourned for him and for other martyrs.... his funeral was over crowded but sadly not a single representative of the Kerala Government attended the rituals.... few days back after much hue and cry in the media, the then Chief Minister of Kerala V. S. Achuthanandan went to meet the parents of the slain Major. Sandeep's father K. Unnikrishnan was so angry that he asked them to leave. He even threatened to commit suicide if any politician from Kerala entered his home. He said, "No dog would enter my house".Later, V. S. Achuthanandan told media that had it not been for Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan, not even a dog would have visited his parents' house.
This again invited harsh criticism from the media and public.But, Achuthanandan stated that he would not apologize to the Major's family.
But finally he said or rather had to say that he respects the slain Major's family.
“Do not come up, I will handle them”, were the last words of Major Unnikrishnan to his men as he was hit by bullets. He was awarded with Ashok Chakra, the highest peace time gallantry award of India on 26.01.2009
A big salute to Major Sandeep Unnikrishanan and to his father Sir K Unnikrishnan.... what a man.
