Eknath Shinde slams Congress leader Wadettiwar for his controversial remark on Hemant Karkare's death

India TV News  

Amid the current uproar over Congress leader Vijay Wadettiwar's controversial statement on the killing of top police officer Hemant Karkare in the 26/11 terror attack of 2008, Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Monday termed the statement as unfortunate and an insult to those who got martyred while protecting the nation. Speaking further, Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde compared the action taken by Prime Minister Narendra Modi government against Pulwama attack in 2019 as against the UPA government's 'did not retaliate' response. He said, the UPA government at the time did not retaliate appropriately to the 26/11 attack whereas Prime Minister Narendra Modi carried out surgical strikes following the terror incident in Pulwama in 2019. It is pertinent to note that Wadettiwar, the leader of opposition in the state assembly, landed in trouble after he had claimed Karkare, who was the Maharashtra Anti Terrorism Squad chief during the 26/11 terror attack, wasn't killed by terrorist Ajmal Kasab's bullet but by one fired by a policeman affiliated to RSS.
