The Bharatiya Janata Party on Sunday moved the Election Commission seeking action against Congress leader Vijay Wadettiwar for his remarks about the death of former Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad chief Hemant Karkare, The Indian Express reported.
On November 26, 2008, 10 Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists took a sea route from Pakistan to Mumbai and carried out a dozen coordinated shooting and bombing attacks at several locations across the city. The attacks had resulted in the death of 166 persons, including 26 foreign citizens. Karkare was among those killed during the attacks.
On Saturday, Wadettiwar, the Leader of the Opposition in the Maharashtra Assembly, told reporters that Karkare was “not killed by bullets of terrorists like Ajmal Kasab, but by a policeman close to RSS [Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh]”.
