Former Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis also arrive for Maharashtra assembly’s winter session wearing ‘I am Savarkar’ cap
Nagpur: On Monday Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLAs arrived for the winter session of Maharashtra assembly in Nagpur wearing caps on which ‘I am Savarkar’ was written. BJP MLA’s wore caps saying ‘I am Savarkar Too’ to mark protest against Rahul Gandhi for his comments against Vinayak Damodar Savarkar.
Former Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis also arrive for Maharashtra assembly’s winter session wearing ‘I am Savarkar’ cap. BJP MLAs also raised slogans at the Vidhan Bhavan entrance on Veer Savarkar issue.
Fadnavis said that Rahul Gandhi has insulted Veer Savarkar and they sought an apology from him against it.

The BJP leader said, “Today, the comments of Rahul Gandhi is shameful. Maybe he does not know anything about Savarkar. Facing imprisonment twice in the Kala Pani (Cellular Jail in Andamans) has happened only to one Individual, Veer Savarkar. No one has probably faced the torture that Savarkar did for 12 years inside the prison. Rahul Gandhi can’t even spend 12 hours in such a prison and hence, he has no right to say this. One doesn’t become a ‘Gandhi’ by just adding it to your name. It was an absolutely wrong comment.”
On December 15, while speaking at Congress’s Bharat Bachao rally in Delhi, Rahul Gandhi said that he will not apologize for the “rape in India” comments.
