Martyr is martyr: Priyanka Gandhi slams Sadhvi Pragya's remark on Hemant Karkare

Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra slammed BJP candidate from Bhopal Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur for her remark on 26/11 martyr Hemant Karkare. Priyanka Gandhi said that we owe our freedom to people like Karkare and any sort of insult to the martyrs is an insult to the country.

"A martyr is a martyr. He has died for the country and given his blood. I have never understood BJP's selectiveness in this case. Like martyr Vasanth Kumar whose family I have come to meet, people like him. We owe our freedom to them, because of people like Karkare. Any sort of insult to them is an insult to the country," she said.

Priyanka Gandhi also said that the Lok Sabha elections are no ordinary elections and these elections are to save the country, where democracy is being undermined.
