Shiv Sena Chief Uddhav Thackeray on Tuesday said that if Veer Savarkar would have been India’s prime minister then Pakistan would not have even born. The Shiv Sena demanded Bharat Ratna, the country’s highest civilian award, for Veer Savarkar, and said that the NDA government is Hindutva government.                                                                     

Thackeray also took a dig at former Congress president Rahul Gandhi, who has targeted  Savarkar  severla  times in the past, and said that the Gandhi scion should read the new book and know more about Savarkar and his works. It may be recalled that in the run-up to 2019 Lok Sabha poll, Rahul Gandhi had said at an election rally that Veer Savarkar had apologised to the Britishers to seek freedom from jail. Veer Savarkar is believed to have popularised the term “Hindutva“.

“If Veer Savarkar would have been the Prime Minister of this country than Pakistan would not have even born. Our government is Hindutva govt and today also I demand Bharat Ratna for Veer Savarkar,” Thackeray said while speaking at the launch of a biography titled “Savarkar: Echoes From A Forgotten Past”.
