The Congress Friday demanded that Prime Minister Narendra Modi apologise to the country and take action against the BJPs Bhopal nominee Pragya Singh Thakur, who claimed that 26\/11 martyr Hemant Karkare died because she had cursed him for torturing her. Congress chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said the remark was an insult to every soldier who has sacrificed his life for the country while fighting terrorism. Modi ji, only BJP leaders can commit the crime of declaring 26\/11 martyr Hemant Karkare a traitor, Surjewala said on Twitter. This is an insult to every Indian soldier who has sacrificed his life for Mother India while fighting terrorism. Apologise to the country and take action against Pragya, he added.

He tortured me and subjected me to harsh abuse which was unbearable. I told him he will be destroyed.
