Cong hits out at RSS leader for 'insulting' Hemant Karkare

The Congress on Thursday hit out at RSS leader Indresh for allegedly insulting Mumbai Police officer Hemant Karkare, who was killed in the 26/11 terror attack, and asked whether the BJP believed he was not devoted towards his work. "The insult of martyr Hemant Karkare's uniform and dutifulness is inappropriate and undignified," Congress chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said in a tweet.

"Does the BJP believe that Hemant Karkare had misused his uniform. Was he not devoted towards his duties," Surjewala tweeted. He was referring to a reported remark by the RSS leader who said he cannot respect

Karkare as he "tortured" BJP MP Pragya Singh Thakur.
