A rally called ‘Savarkar Gaurav Yatra’ in support of Veer Vinayak Damodar Savarkar and slamming Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for his remarks against the Hindu ideologue was held at Shivaji Park, late Sunday morning. The participants walked in a circuitous route, starting from one of the by lanes near the landmark maidan and ending at Savarkar Smarak opposite it.
The procession was led by young women infusing the march with an energetic lezim dance. Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Shiv Sena flags flew, and most participants wore saffron caps with the Marathi slogan `Mee Savarkar` (I am Savarkar) emblazoned on them. The Savarkar row has moved from slow simmer to full boil after Gandhi’s remarks, “I am not Savarkar”. Political strongman Sharad Pawar and Uddhav Thackeray have done some damage control. Yet, Gandhi has not apologized and said he will not do so.
