After Pragya Singh Thakur, now Madhu Purnima Kishwar says Hemant Karkare was serving Pakistan
Pragya Singh Thakur’s claim that former Maharashtra Anti Terrorism Squad (ATS) Chief Hemant Karkare, who was martyred in 26/11 Mumbai terror attack, died due to her curse has triggered outrage among Karkare’s former colleagues and other activists, who have expressed shock at the remarks.
Several former IPS officers and his colleagues including former Mumbai Police Commissioner Julio Ribeiro and Former Maharashtra DGP, Anami Roy came out and defended Karkare and his supreme sacrifice.
Meanwhile, the right wing activists also jumped in to support Sadhvi Pragya’s statement and triggered debate on social media over the issue.
Rogue police officers have the right to subject citizens to inhuman torture & citizens don't even have right to curse? Shame on you @IPSAssociation for condemning #SadhviPragya statement saying she cursed Karkare. https://t.co/RsJOPLF67l via @SirfNewsIndia

Madhu Purnima Kishwar, Founder of Human Rights organisation ‘Manushi’ and a hardcore supporter of Narendra Modi and RSS, on Friday tweeted alleging that the former ATS chief was ‘dead drunk’ when he was called to attend the 26/11 attack.
Bang on right, the whole country saw on TV that Karkare was fumbling & seemed clumsy handling his bullet proof vest. It's an open secret he was dead drunk that evening when he was called to attend to terror attack https://t.co/CVlbFlbeeJ

“The whole country saw on TV that Karkare was fumbling & seemed clumsy handling his bullet proof vest. It's an open secret he was dead drunk that evening when he was called to attend to terror attack” she tweeted.

In a series of tweets, she further added that Karkare did not fire any bullets at the terrorists and questioned how he was credited with combating terrorists.
And Karkare did not fire one single bullet. How the hell can he be credited with combating terrorists? https://t.co/Gd992pWG3c

Karkare had charged Pragra Singh Thakur and Lt. Col Purohit Singh in connection with hatching the conspiracy and carrying out terror attacks in Malegoan.
Commenting on the charges labeled by Karkare on Pragya and Col. Purohit Singh, Kishwar tweeted that Karkare was ‘inventing fake narratice of Hindu terror to please Islamist’.

Min. Priyank Kharge to expresses concern over implementation of VB-G Ram G
Bengaluru: Rural Development and Panchayati Raj Minister Priyank Kharge has expressed concern over the uncertainty surrounding the implementation of the proposed VB-G Ram G scheme, stating that the MNREGA programme, which has been a lifeline for rural India for nearly two decades, appears to be facing an uncertain future.
Speaking to media, Kharge said that as March 31 draws to a close, there is no clarity on the rollout of the new scheme from April 1. He pointed out that the central government has not yet issued the necessary guidelines for implementing the scheme for rural workers and villages.
He criticised the Centre for its lack of preparedness, stating that there is no clarity on fund allocation, no final parameters for classifying gram panchayats, and key processes such as social audits have not been defined.
Kharge said the situation comes at a critical time, as summer marks a peak period for rural employment demand, when many people depend heavily on wage employment for their livelihood.
He added that reports have emerged of delays in approvals and families not receiving work despite demand.
He further alleged that the Centre’s move to shift from a statutory employment guarantee to a rule-based allocation system is already showing negative consequences.
Kharge also raised concerns over provisions such as a mandatory 60-day halt during agricultural seasons, which he said would further limit employment opportunities for rural workers.
The BJP-led central government had claimed that the new scheme would transform rural India, but in reality it is turning out to be detrimental to people’s livelihoods, he said.
“The crisis in rural India due to the stalling of MNREGA is beginning to unfold. Given the Centre’s past record in handling such situations, there is growing concern over the impact on rural livelihoods,” Kharge said.
