NEW DELHI: Congress MP Rahul Gandhi stoked a controversy yet again by alleging that freedom fighter VD Savarkar helped the Britishers and remained loyal to them. Not just the BJP but Congress’s ally Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) slammed the opposition leader.
Speaking to media persons in Akola district of Maharashtra on Thursday during his ongoing Bharat Jodo Yatra, Rahul cited from a letter purportedly written by Savarkar to the Britishers during the freedom struggle pledging his support to them. “Sir, I beg to remain your most obedient servant," Savarkar said and signed on it, according to Rahul.
