Seeking to put an end to a controversy, Union Minister of State for Home, Mullappally Ramachandran, today said he was satisfied with Kerala Home Minister Thiruvanchoor Radhakrishnan's clarification on some remarks made by the latter in the state assembly recently.
In a brief talk with mediapersons here, Ramachandran said he was satisfied with the clarification."I had close friendship with Thiruvanchoor when we were in KSU (Congress' youth wing in Kerala), he said.

Radhakrishnan, who courted controversy for making certain remarks in the state assembly few days ago on Ramachandran, had clarified that he had not made any critical comments about the Central Minister.

His clarification came in the wake of the Union Minister seeking an explanation through social networking site, Facebook. Radhakrishnan said he had also written a letter, explaining the circumstances of his statement and its background.
