Wadettiwar’s statement on Karkare’s death rankles Mumbai BJP's rank and file

Ashish Shelar wrote to the Chief Election Commissioner, taking offence with Wadettiwar’s claim that Hemant Karkare was killed by a police officer with RSS links

It is proven in court that Ismail and Kasab fired behind Cama hospital and our police officer was martyred by their bullets. It has been seen by eyewitnesses. Pakistan has never denied this. But because of these statements, Pakistan will derive benefit,” he said. (ANI)
