'Don't insult Veer Savarkar': Shiv Sena's Sanjay Raut warns Rahul Gandhi over remark; BJP slams Congress leader's jibe at 'national icon'

Firstpost  

Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut warned Maharashtra ally Congres to not ‘insult’ Damodar Savarkar and that there will be ’no compromises’ the Hindutva icon The war of words over Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s remarks on Damodar Savarkar seems to have intensified with Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut issuing a veiled threat to its Maharashtra ally to not ‘insult’ the Hindutva icon. Earlier Saturday Rahul refused to apologise for his ‘Rape In India’ remark, saying he “will die but never apologise” for speaking the truth as his name is Gandhi and not Savarkar. जय हिंद — Sanjay Raut December 14, 2019 Addressing the Congress’ mega “Bharat Bachao Rally” at Ramlila grounds in New Delhi, Rahul took a dig at the BJP for demanding an apology for his remark and said, “The BJP asked me to apologise. Your Muslim appeasement politics and mindset makes you a worthy legatee of Mohammad Ali Jinnah, not Savarkar.” Another party spokesperson Sambit Patra said Rahul can never be ‘Rahul Savarkar’ as Savarkar stood for “patriotism, bravery and sacrifice” while the Congress leader is somebody who spoke what Pakistan said on issues like the citizenship bill, Article 370 and surgical strikes among others.
