Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised Hindutva ideologue V D Savarkar on Sunday, saying that his personality exuded power and his fearless and self-respecting temperament could not tolerate the slavery’s ideology.

During the ‘Mann ki Baat’ broadcast on Savarkar’s birth anniversary, Modi said Savarkar’s sacrifice, courage, and tenacity continue to inspire us.

PM Modi said, “Today the 28th of May, is the birth anniversary of the great freedom fighter, Veer Savarkar. The stories related to his sacrifice, courage, and resolve to inspire us all even today”.

“I cannot forget the day when I went to the cell in Andaman where Veer Savarkar underwent the sentence of Kala paani”, he continued.

PM Modi went on to say, “Veer Savarkar’s personality exuded strength and magnanimity. His fearless and self-respecting nature could not tolerate the mindset of slavery at all”.

“Not only in the freedom movement, whatever Veer Savarkar did for social equality and social justice is remembered even today”, PM Modi also added.

Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Modi, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, several Union ministers, and MPs paid floral tributes to Savarkar at the historic Parliament building’s Central Hall.
