New Delhi: Union Minister Anurag Thakur Monday hit out at Congress MP Rahul Gandhi saying that the latter can never be Hindu supremacist VD Savarkar.

Thakur said, “Rahul Gandhi can never be Savarkar as the latter would never go to abroad for 6 months. Savarkar would not want to take leave after every session. He was dedicated towards the freedom of the nation.”

He added that, “Rahul Gandhi insulted Veer Savarkar along with India’s former Prime Ministers Indira Gandhi’s and Nehru ji. He could have saved their prestige.”
