flag AIMIM leader opposes BJP's push to award Bharat Ratna to Savarkar, warning it risks glorifying his assassin.

flag AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi criticized the BJP and RSS for pushing to award the Bharat Ratna to Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, calling it a distortion of history and warning it could lead to honoring Nathuram Godse. flag He contrasted Savarkar with freedom fighters like Maulvi Allauddin, who died in the Andaman Cellular Jail, and cited Savarkar’s alleged mercy petitions to the British. flag RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, while not on the decision-making committee, said honoring Savarkar would elevate the award’s prestige. flag Congress MP Manickam Tagore opposed the move, calling it an insult to Gandhi, Ambedkar, and other national heroes. flag The BJP and Shiv Sena (UBT) supported the proposal, urging a reevaluation of historical narratives. flag The debate reflects deepening political divisions over how India remembers its freedom struggle.
