Hemant Karkare's wife turns down Modi's offer
Even as hundreds of thousands of Mumbaikar's came out onto the streets to pay their respects to national hero Hemant Karkare.
Politicians who came to pay their respects were sidelined by both the common man as well as the family of the deceased.
Karkare's wife, Kavita Karkare, refused to receive the amount from the Rs.1 crore reward announced by Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi for the families of the martyred officers.
She refused to meet any politician.
Just to recall, Modi along with other leaders of the BJP including prime ministerial candidate L. K. Advani and others from the Shiv Sena have been baying for Karkare's blood post the Malegaon investigations into the allegations of terrorist activities by the saffron brigade.
This is True Patriotism and Hinduism not the sham of the Hate Brigade....

The Last bugle
- Wife snubs Modi, refuses to turn Karkare into poll pawn |

Mumbai, Nov. 29:
Her husband was dead, riddled with terrorist bullets, but Kavita
Karkare was in no mood for sympathy, especially from people out to score
a few political points.
Yesterday, as the
nation simmered, she turned down the Rs 1 crore Narendra Modi had
offered her as compensation, and virtually turned the Gujarat chief
minister away from her doorstep.
Kavita had broken
down at the first sight of her husband Hemant Karkare’s body at St
George’s Hospital on Wednesday night. Since then, she has been stoically
silent.
Yesterday, the 48-year-old college professor quietly rebelled against the political class.
“She told me ‘they
can’t put a valuation on Hemant’s life. I won’t let them gain political
mileage using his death’,” Kavita’s sister-in-law Amruta Karkare said
after the slain cop’s funeral today.
It was not just Modi who went back quietly after Kavita refused to meet him.
“Didi has refused to meet any politician,” Amruta said.
Kavita, whose blood pressure shot up after
she saw her husband’s body, had been advised immediate hospitalisation
by doctors at St George’s Hospital who thought she might suffer a
stroke.
“But she just
brushed away everyone and stayed by her husband’s side, holding his
hand. No one could remove her from there. She is very strong-willed,”
Amruta told reporters.
“She told me ‘I do
not want to cry. I do not want to break down again before people. He
would not have liked that’,” Amruta recalled.
Karkare, who
headed Maharashtra’s anti-terror squad, additional police commissioner
Ashok Kamte and senior inspector Vijay Salaskar had set out in search of
the terrorists in a Qualis on Wednesday night when they were ambushed
in a narrow lane.
The rebels later threw their bodies out of the vehicle and sped away.
Karkare was to
have been cremated yesterday but his daughter Sayali, a student at the
London School of Economics, missed her flight from Heathrow, Amruta
said. “So we had to delay the cremation.”
This morning, his
body was taken in a flower-bedecked open van, accompanied by a police
band, from his home in Hindu Colony in Dadar East to the nearby Shivaji
Park crematorium.
Over 5,000 people lined the 3km stretch to pay their last respects to the valiant cop. “Hemant Karkare amar rahe”, “Bharat Mata ki jai,” the crowd chanted as the hearse passed.
Top state leaders
from all major political parties attended the funeral. Chief minister
Vilasrao Deshmukh came with local leaders and party activists.
NCP president Sharad Pawar was accompanied by deputy chief minister R.R. Patil, his party colleague.
The Shiv Sena’s
Manohar Joshi, the BJP’s Nitin Gadkari and other political leaders —
among them many who had spewed venom on Karkare till hours before his
death — laid wreaths and garlands on his body.
Earlier,
Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray visited Karkare’s
residence to offer condolences but left quickly after laying a wreath as
Kavita refused to meet him.
Maharashtra police
chief A.N. Roy and some of Mumbai’s top cops were among the
pallbearers. Mumbai police commissioner Hasan Gafoor and joint
commissioner (crime) Rakesh Maria refused to speak to reporters.
“We have lost one
of our finest men. They were some of my best friends,” said Roy, his
voice choking with tears as Karkare’s son Akash lit the pyre.
