Veer Savarkar's grandson said, "This has been an old habit of the Congress (to berate the nationalist poet). I recall Uddhav Thackeray saying in 2019 that Rahul Gandhi should be beaten with shoes for insulting Savarkar-ji."
Lashing out at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over his statements against nationalist poet and freedom fighter Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, his grandson Ranjit Savarkar on Sunday said the former has been repeatedly hurling insults at the late saffron ideologue for his 'political gain'.
Speaking to news agency ANI on Sunday, Veer Savarkar's grandson said, "This has been an old habit of the Congress (to berate the nationalist poet). I recall Uddhav Thackeray saying in 2019 that Rahul Gandhi should be beaten with shoes for insulting Savarkar-ji."
"However, he, as well as other leaders in the INDIA bloc, have continued to make indecorous and insulting remarks about my grandfather. However, the public reaction to these statements has already been seen in Maharashtra. The people of the state have been showing a growing opposition to the Congress," he added.
