"He (Hemant Karkare) died from the bullets of terrorists from the enemy country, he is certainly a martyr," she said.

Sadhvi Pragya had created a political furore with her remarks on Karkare saying that she had cursed him just a month before his death in the 26/11 Mumbai attack.
Karkare died in the gunfight with Pakistani terrorists during the 26/11 Mumbai attacks.
