The top focus of this episode of 5ive Live is on the ugly terror politics that has erupted in Lok Sabha polls run up. First, Congress leader Vijay Wadettiwar sparked a massive row by stating that that former Maharashtra anti-terrorism squad (ATS) chief Hemant Karkare was killed by an "RSS-linked cop", and not by terrorist Ajmal Kasab, during the 26/11 terror attack. And then Congress leader and former Punjab CM Charanjit Singh Channi claimed that the terror attack on an Indian Air Force (IAF) convoy in Jammu and Kashmir was nothing but BJP's stunt to win the Lok Sabha elections.
