Click to play videoNew Delhi: For a grieving family looking for closure, the politics over the death of Anti-Terrorism Squad Chief, Hemant Karkare has indeed been disturning. Hemant Karkare's widow, Kavita Karkare on Saturday spoke for the first time at a public rally.
Eighteen people who lost their lives in the 26/11 terror attack were remembered at a public function in Mumbai's Sivaji Park where Kavita Karkare made her first public speech after the death of her husband.
"Hemant was a hero and he died a hero. So children, you should become like him," she said.
The father of slain NSG commando, Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan was also present at the gathering.
"I have lost my son, but I have thousands of sons all over India to die for the country," he said in an emotional speech. He also lamented that there was no one to show him where his son had been gunned down.
"I wanted to see where my son died, where his body was lying but nobody would show me the place. The only policemen standing there were chewing paan masala (tobacco)," he stated.
However, what was heartening for those who had lost loved ones in the war against terror was that 50,000 college students from three universities took a pledge promising to fight terror and preserve India's sovereignty and unity. The families of those who died saving Mumbai would at least go back assured that Mumbai remembers its bravehearts.
