Rahul Gandhi’s allegations are absurd – Ranjit Savarkar
Ranjit Savarkar, Executive President of the Freedom Fighter Savarkar National Memorial and Savarkar’s grandson, asserted that Rahul Gandhi’s unprovoked accusations against freedom fighter Vinayak Damodar Savarkar during the Congress’s ‘Bharat Jodo’ campaign are foolish.
Savarkar was speaking at a press conference held at the Freedom Savarkar National Memorial in Dadar West on Friday.
Showing the last lines of Savarkar’s letter, the statement made by Rahul Gandhi was read out like a google translation. Basically, that was the way of writing at that time. His grandfather and Mahatma Gandhi also wrote the same, what does this mean?
Not only this, but the way Jawaharlal Nehru, the then Viceroy Mountbatten, along with his wife Edwina Mountbatten went to Simla and later approved the partition, was it not treason? Savarkar also questioned.
He also referred to a book written by Mountbatten’s daughter Pamela about the relationship between Edwina Mountbatten and Jawaharlal Nehru.
Jawaharlal Nehru used to write letters to Edwina Mountbatten every night informing her about the events and decisions of the day, is this not treason? Rahul Gandhi should also take this information, he said.
He also denied the allegation that freedom fighter Savarkar was being given a pension. Ranjit Savarkar also submitted documentary references to all his replies regarding Rahul Gandhi’s allegations.
