Overview
- Modi’s letter dated February 6 praises C Sadanandan Master’s maiden Rajya Sabha speech for its moral strength and conviction.
- Sadanandan had placed his prosthetic limbs on the House table to spotlight political violence in Kerala, alleging a 1994 CPI(M)-linked attack that cost him his legs.
- The display triggered protests from CPI(M) members, with the act denounced as a “drama,” and member John Brittas objecting on the floor.
- Modi criticized those who mocked the MP, referred to attackers as followers of a “retrograde ideology,” and said that ideology has “shrunk greatly.”
- Linking the episode to electoral messaging, Modi said Kerala voters are tiring of the UDF and LDF, and Sadanandan later posted the letter and thanked the PM on X.
