Aurangabad, Maharashtra: Former JNU student leader and CPI leader Kanhaiya Kumar said that if Vinayak Savarkar is honoured with Bharat Ratna award then the government should not recommend the “same award” to martyr Bhagat Singh.
Kanhaiya Kumar told this while addressing an election rally here at Aamkhas
Maidan in support of party nominee Adv Abhay Taksal from Aurangabad central
constituency, UNI reported.
Kanhaiya Kumar pointed out that Bharat Ratna honour to Savarkar, who had
‘apologised’ to Britishers, is an ‘insult’ of Martyr Bhagat Singh who had
sacrificed his life for the country.
