Party should bring AV Gopinath back, says Padmaja


“I know him for a long period. He was among the most trusted persons of Karunakaran. I have been seeing him being tortured several times. I thought of saying this in many instances. At least now, I should say this otherwise it will be a big injustice to my father,” said Padmaja.
