Sadhvi Pragya Thakur’s statement that she had cursed the 26/11 martyr Hemant Karkare and hence he was killed is the most unfortunate remark in this election season so far. That Thakur has grievance against Karkare, who as the then Anti-Terrorists Squad chief had arrested the Sadhvi in connection with the Malegaon bomb blasts, is understandable. The party must strongly condemn it, for it is the BJP that is seen as a party that puts national interests above everything. If the party were to uphold that principle, the Sadhvi should be asked to retract her statement. The only thought that they had in mind was their duty to their flag, their nation, i.e., the Tricolour and India.
