Shegaon: All India Congress Committee (AICC) media department head Jairam Ramesh on Friday explained that Shiv Sena and Congress, which are constituent parties of Maha Vikas Aghadi, have different views on Savarkar and that it will not have any effect on coalition.
Interacting with mediapersons at Shegaon Mr Ramesh said some people do not seem to have understood that the people of Maharashtra have given great response and love to Bharat Jodo Yatra.
Rahulji Gandhi compared Birsa Munda with Savarkar when he said in a meeting that he did not bow down to the British,he said.
He further said some parties and organizations in Maharashtra are heating up the atmosphere on the issue of Savarkar. How can you deny the historical truth in the case of Savarkar,he asked and said Congress’s stand on this is clear. Congress has not organised the history by destroying it.
The concept of bi-nationalism was presented by Savarkar. Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh opposed the Quit India, Chale Jaa movement of 1942. It is a historical fact that the founder of Jan Sangh, Shyama Prasad Mookerjee , was a staunch supporter of the partition of Bengal and formed the government in alliance with the Muslim League.
As Bharat Jodo Yatra is getting huge support, some people are trying to spoil the atmosphere by protesting,he charged.
