Thiruvananthapuram: BJP spokesperson Sandeep Vachaspati reacted to the incident of the suicide of an elderly man who had been grappling with severe financial crisis for the past five months following the discontinuation of his disability pension.
Sandeep Vachaspati through a Facebook post asked where the intellectuals who wrote essays in praise of the Navakerala Sadas are. He wrote that a case of murder should be filed against the Minister of Social Welfare for the suicide of the elderly person.
“It has barely been a month since the farce took place where the Chief Minister and his entourage spent crores of rupees and traveled all over Kerala. Where are the intellectuals who wrote essays praising the Nava Kerala Sadas? Tributes to Joseph. A case of murder should be filed against the Social Welfare Minister for his suicide.”- Sandeep Vaachaspathi noted in his Facebook page.
Joseph alias V Pappachan, (77) a native of Chakkittapara Grama Panchayat, Muthukad, Valayam was found hanging at his house by his neighbours on Tuesday. Reports said that Joseph had been grappling with severe financial crises for the past five months following the discontinuation of his disability pension. Joseph had lodged a complaint with various authorities, including ministers and the collector, urging the release of his pension. However, as he lost confidence in the government and felt disheartened, Joseph took the tragic step of hanging himself at his residence.
