No Right To Insult Savarkar: Nitin Gadkari Slams Congress Leader Rahul Gandhi Over His Remarks, Demands Apology

Days after Congress leader Rahul Gandhi gave his “Not Savarkar” remarks, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari asked Rahul Gandhi to apologise for his critical remarks. The union minister also said no one has the right to insult him.

Union minister Gadkari slams Rahul Gandhi

While addressing a gathering organised as part of the ‘Savarkar Gaurav Yatra’ at Shankar Nagar in Maharashtra’s Nagpur city, Gadkari said that Gandhi should realise that he insulted the Hindutva icon due to some misunderstanding.

Moreover, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader said the former Congress president should show a big heart and tender an apology for his “crime.”

No right to insult Savarkar

“Who has given him the right to insult Savarkar? No one will tolerate the insult of Savarkar,” Gadkari maintained.

Speaking in a lighter vein, the union minister has also thanked Rahul Gandhi for allowing the BJP to make the country’s youth aware of Savarkar’s life and message through the yatra.

The former Congress chief has constantly targeted Savarkar by raking up the issue of his mercy plea. His latest attack came last month following his disqualification from the Lok Sabha when he said, “My name is not Savarkar, my name is Gandhi and Gandhi does not offer an apology to anyone.”

The BJP and Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena have organised ‘Savarkar Gaurav Yatras’ in the state to honour the Hindutva ideologue and counter Gandhi’s criticism against him.
