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’.
