Bhopal: Bharatiya Janata Party has distanced itself from Bhopal Lok Sabha seat candidate and Malegaon blast accused Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur’s statement that former Anti-Terrorism Squad chief Hemant Karkare died during the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack as she had “cursed” him for torturing her.

In a statement today, the BJP said that they have always considered late Hemant Karkare, who valiantly fought the terrorists as a martyr.

The BJP has further said that what their Bhopal Lok Sabha candidate has said is her personal view emanating from her pain and suffering as she had been tortured.

The IPS Association has issued a statement severely criticising Pragya Singh Thakur for her statement against a martyr who laid down his life bravely fighting the terrorists.
