On Wednesday, Maverick Nationalist Congress Party legislator Prakash Gajbhiye turned heads when he came to Maharashtra Legislature dressed up like the former slain top cop, Hemant Karkare. Carrying a placard, he moved around silently to "express regrets" over the recent comments by Bhopal MP, Pragya Singh Thakur, on the late Karkare, who was among the martyrs during the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks.

"That I was killed by Pragya's curse is superstition. I became a martyr for the country", read the placard. Taken aback by this form of agitation, security personnel quickly whisked Gajbhiye away from the spot, even as it evoked mixed reactions from other legislators and media persons.
