Savarkar's insult is unacceptable, Rahul Gandhi apologizes to Maharashtra: Shriraj Nair

Mumbai, May 29 (IANS). Bala Darade, leader of the Shiv Sena (UBT) faction in Nashik, Maharashtra, threatened to blacken the face of Rahul Gandhi over the insult of Savarkar. Shriraj Nair, Vishwa Hindu Parishad, said that the sacrifice of Savarkar and Patriotism not only respected Maharashtra, but also the entire country. Sriraj Nair said in a special conversation with the Ians news agency on Thursday that it was very unfortunate by Rahul Gandhi to repeatedly deliver derogatory remarks to Savarkar, and it is an act to injure the sentiments of the Patriots. He demanded that Rahul Gandhi apologize to the citizens of Maharashtra and the people of the country in public. He said that it is not only inappropriate to show the contribution of Savarkar, but that it also disregards the sacrifices made in the history and freedom struggle of our country. Shriraj Nair also expressed disappointment over the criticism of his own MP Shashi Tharoor by the congress part. He said that the murder of innocent civilians in Pahalgam has recently been very condemnable and that nine shelters of terrorists in Pakistan and Pakistan Kashmir have been destroyed under ‘Operation Sindoor’ to respond to Islamabad. The central government has sent delegations to different countries to bring terrorism to the international forums, including Shashi Tharoor. He appreciates Tharoor’s efforts and said he is doing good work in the national interest, but unfortunately the congress part cannot accept this contribution. He called on the leaders of Congress to rise above political selfishness and appreciate the national interests of leaders such as Tharoor. In addition, Sriraj Nair supported the statement of Prime Minister Narendra Modi about the violence in Murshidabad, West Billed, in which he described the incident as a symbol of the ‘ruthlessness’ of the Mamata Banerjee government. Nair said that the policy of Mamta government shows especially cruelty to Hindus, scheduled castes and tribes. He claimed that incidents such as the violation of human rights by Jihadi forces, attacks on march and atrocities were increasing on innocent, which was also taken by the court and other investigations. He said that the Mamta government in the desire to stay in power ignored the atrocities and massacre on Hindus, which is against extremely unfortunate and democratic values. -Ians PSK/Ekd Share this Story Tags
