Rajya Sabha MP and former union minister Alphons Kannanthanam has been accused of flying his mother’s dead body from Delhi to Kerala for funeral without revealing she died of COVID-19 in Delhi.

Kannanthanam posted a clarification on his Facebook page on the same.

He wrote, Just a clarification on my mother’s demise :
1. She was tested COVID positive on 28th May and admitted to AIIMS ICU Delhi .
2. Repeat test on 5th June at AIIMS showed her COVID negative .
3. Repeat test on 10th June at AIIMS also showed negative .
4. Even though she was cured of Covid by 5th , her vital organs were badly damaged due to Covid . Her lungs collapsed and finally died of heart seizure. ₹4. So is it wrong to say that she died of Covid

He added, When a person dies of brain injuries in a car accident, do we say that he/she died of brain injuries, or do we say that he/she died of a car accident? Obviously, car accident. My mother was perfectly healthy at 91. She died because COVID destroyed her vital organs . A certain person , who does not even deserve to be named, has survived all his life blackmailing the society . Leave us alone. We are trying to reach food to the hungry through MOTHERS MEAL.
