If speaking against Savarkar is antinational, then put me in jail: Congress leader V Hanumantha Rao

“BJP is saying that if anyone speaks against Veer Savarkar then he is an anti-national. Yes, I am saying I am speaking against him. If I am anti-national arrest me and put me behind bars,” he added. In a letter to the director of Salarjung museum in Hyderabad, Rao said that the name of former Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru was nowhere mentioned but the pictures of Veer Savarkar were adorned on the walls of the Museum.

Do our leaders want to certify political assassination?

No one knows who Veer Savarkar was and what was his contribution to the struggle for Indian independence, said Rao and called him “just an RSS activist.” “It is nothing but suppressing the great contribution, and sacrifices of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, who underwent imprisonment to fight against British rule during the freedom struggle. As everyone knows Nehru was not just the first Prime Minister of India, but also an architect of modern India. Distortion or diversion of history cannot be tolerated anymore,” he added.

Seeking clarity from the director of the museum, the Congress leader said he would like to know whether he has done this act on his own or he received instructions from the Government of India to put Veer Savarkar’s pictures and overlook the great services of Nehru. It was a great insult to the first Prime Minister of India and a well-knit conspiracy, he added.

The museum must display the pictures of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru along with other great freedom fighters like Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel, Mahatma Gandhi, and others within a week’s time otherwise, the Congress Party will chalk out and implement its action plan, he said….
