Further, the Shiv Sena (UBT) leader said that he considers Hindutva ideologue V D Savarkar as his idol and asked the Congress leader to refrain from insulting him.

He said, “Savarkar suffered unimaginable torture in the Andaman cellular jail for 14 years. We can only read the sufferings. It is a form of sacrifice. We will not tolerate the insult of Savarkar.”

Also, the leader has warned him that there would be cracks in the opposition alliance if Rahul Gandhi continues to ‘demean’ Savarkar.

“Veer Savarkar is our God, and any disrespect towards him will not be tolerated. We are prepared to fight, but insulting our Gods is not something we will tolerate,” he added.

While addressing a rally in Malegoan, he said, “The alliance of the Uddhav faction, Congress and NCP was made to protect democracy and we need to work unitedly. Rahul Gandhi is being provoked deliberately but if we waste time in this, democracy will cease to exist.”

Thackeray was referring to Rahul Gandhi’s recent statement where he said that he is not Savarkar.

‘My name is not Savarkar, my name is Gandhi…’

“My name is not Savarkar, my name is Gandhi and Gandhi does not offer an apology to anyone,” Rahul Gandhi said on Saturday in a press conference following his disqualification as an MP after conviction in a defamation case.

On Saturday, in a press conference following his disqualification as an MP after conviction in a defamation case he said, “My name is not Savarkar, my name is Gandhi and Gandhi does not offer an apology to anyone.”

Recently, Rahul Gandhi was disqualified as a Member of Parliament following the Surat court order convicting him in a criminal defamation case over his ‘Modi surname’ remark.

Uddhav Thackeray, whose Sena faction is an ally of Congress and the NCP in the state, however, urged Rahul Gandhi to not get provoked and to come together to “save India’s democracy”.

Uddhav Thackeray has slammed the BJP argument over Rahul Gandhi’s remark against PM Narendra Modi, saying that PM Narendra Modi is not India.
