Union Home Minister, Amit Shah said that Veer Savarkar was a freedom fighter and a major reformer.
Union Minister Amit Shah remarked in an exclusive interview with Republic Media Network’s Editor-in-Chief Arnab Goswami that Veer Savarkar was a freedom fighter and a major social reformer. Amit Shah stated that Savarkar spent his entire life fighting for his motherland, religion, and language and that anyone making a comment like Rahul Gandhi made is unfortunate and unacceptable.
Amit Shah also expressed confidence that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) would prevail in the next elections in Gujarat. He predicted that the BJP will win more seats than its record-breaking 127 in the 2002 Assembly election and dismissed the possibilities of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) by pinpointing Congress as its main opponent. The former head of the BJP also predicted that Gujaratis would not accept the freebies that Arvind Kejriwal’s party was offering. Here are a few excerpts from the interview.
