Congress raised objections to the poster of the Independence Day issued by the Ministry of Oil and Natural Gas with VD Savarkar together with Mahatma Gandhi and other Freedom Fighters for allegedly promoted the “British merciful petitioner as Savarkar over the father of the nation”.
Congress Secretary General (organization) KC Venugopal said it was another attempt to “disrupt” history and make heroes from “traitors”.
In the X contribution, the Ministry of Oil and Natural Gas published a picture representing the faces of Savarkar, Gandhi, Subhas Chandra Bos and Bhagat Singh with the title – “their gift was their gift, which is our mission”.
“When we celebrate the independence of our nation, we remember – Liberty thrives when we raise it every day, through unity, empathy and action. The day of happy independence,” the ministry said.
Hitting Out at the Government, Mr. Venugopal Said: “Every Independence Day, The Modi -Lled Bjp Makes IT and Point to Distort History and Make Heroes Out of Trait. This Orwellian Image, Elevating and British Mercy Petitioner Like Savarkar Over Gandhi Ji Completely Eliminating Pandit Nezru and Sardar Patel Ji, Shows Their Contmpt for Our Freedom Fighters.
“What else can be expected from those whose ancestors have worked with the British to send the seeds of divisions and hatred that still chases us?” said.
The head of the media and the publicity of the congress Pawan Khera also said in the post of Hindi: “When mixing ethanol in gasoline, you have now started to mix dirt IUs for freedom. Those who could not become great in history.
CPI (m) MP John Brittas also killed the place of the Ministry of Oil. “The intentional promotion of Savarkar over Gandhi is not a coincidence, but the calculated act. Government acts undermine the nation’s commitment to its secular constitution. It is relevant to note that Savarkar has been accused of assassination to Gandhi, even though he is liberated due to insufficient evidence.”
BJP hit the congress, while BJP (organization) General BL Santhosh responded to Mr. Kher’s contribution and said, “The sick brigade of the core … Veer Savarkar lived and died for the country.”
