New Delhi: The riots continue on the Maharashtra BJP manifesto of Bharat Ratna being given to Vinayak Damodar Savarkar. Meanwhile, Savarkar's grandson Ranjit Savarkar has said that former PM Indira Gandhi was also a follower of Savarkar. Ranjit Savarkar said that 'Indira Gandhi honored Veer Savarkar. I feel strongly that she was a follower of Savarkar because he brought Pakistan to its knees. Strengthened military and foreign relations and also conducted nuclear tests. All this is against the ideology of Nehru and Gandhi.

He further said that 'Owaisi should follow Savarkar's belief that religion should be kept in his house. When you step out, you are not a Hindu or a Muslim, but an Indian. Savarkar wanted that whoever enters the Parliament should keep caste and religion, gender, etc out and then enter. You will not find a more secular man than Savarkar.

In fact, recently the head of All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi had said that how can one think of giving Bharat Ratna to a conspirator for the murder of Father of the Nation Mahatma Gandhi. If you are giving Bharat Ratna to Savarkar, then give Bharat Ratna to Nathuram Godse as well.
