If Savarkar is awarded, the prestige of Bharat Ratna will increase: Mohan Bhagwat
A program is going on in Mumbai on the completion of 100 years of the Sangh. Today was his second day. In this, Bhagwat gave this statement that the long standing demand of honoring Savarkar should be seriously considered. Bhagwat said, ‘If Savarkar is given this award then the prestige of Bharat Ratna will increase.’
Let us tell you, this demand has been made by BJP and RSS for the last few years.
Congress raised questions on the main demand of the Sangh
At the same time, Congress has raised questions on the demand of the Sangh chief. Congress has made a sharp attack saying that party MP Imran Masood raised the question. He asked on what basis Savarkar should be given Bharat Ratna. He accused Savarkar of partition of India.
Masood said, ‘On what basis should he be given Bharat Ratna? For what qualification? To cause the partition of India and Pakistan? It was Savarkar who first spread the idea of two nations within the country and laid the ideological foundation of partition between India and Pakistan.
long standing demand
This demand has been going on for the last several years. BJP and its affiliated organizations present Veer Savarkar as a freedom fighter and a leading thinker of Hindutva. Savarkar was also in jail during the British Raj. Congress has come out opposing him on the basis of his controversial views and alleged links with the conspiracy to assassinate Mahatma Gandhi. This issue came into political discussion for the first time in the year 2019. When the Maharashtra unit of BJP had promised to give Bharat Ratna to Savarkar in the election manifesto. Shiv Sena UBT also demanded this in 2024.
