Yadgir, Apr 16: Charging that the Opposition Bharaitya Janata Party (BJP) is talking loudly over the issue of patriotism, the Opposition Congress leader in Lok Sabha, Mallikarjuna Kharge, has said that "Not even a dog belonging to the Saffron party had sacrificed for the cause of the Indian Independence".

Addressing an election meeting in Kongal village of Gurmatkal taluk in Yadagir district, on Monday, he said that "I know more about India’s independence than Narendra Modi who was not even born when India got independence”.

Stating that the Congress party and its workers had sacrificed a lot during the freedom struggle, he said that “It was the people of the Congress who brought independence to India. But, not even a dog from BJP leaders had sacrificed its life for the country. We don’t have to be taught about patriotism by such people," he said.

Brahmin Savarkar was non-veg eater; wasn't against cow slaughter: Health Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao

Karnataka Health Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao reminded that V D Savarkar was not against cow slaughter as he himself was non-veg eater, PTI reported on Thursday.

"As a Brahmin he was eating meat, and he was openly propagating eating meat," said the minister at an event in Bengaluru.

Reacting to Gundu Rao's claim, BJP MP Anurag Thakur called Congress a "factory of lies" as he warned that India won't tolerate any disrespect towards Savarkar.

"By disrespecting Veer Savarkar they have shown that they don't respect freedom fighters. During the Congress government, Sardar Bhagat Singh was termed a separatist in textbooks...By making those who want to break the nation join the congress party, Rahul Gandhi is taking forward the ideology of 'tukde tukde' and he is a 'modern Jinnah' who speaks ill of the country abroad...," he said.

Meanwhile, a court in Maharashtra's Nashik district summoned Congress MP Rahul Gandhi earlier this week in a defamation case filed against him for his alleged objectionable remarks against the Hindutva ideologue.

The complainant, who is the director of an NGO, claimed he watched a press conference addressed by Gandhi in Hingoli and also a speech made by the Congress leader in November 2022.

He alleged that Gandhi, on the two occasions, by his words and visual representations knowingly harmed the reputation of Veer Savarkar and also tried to defame the latter's image in the society.

According to the complainant, Gandhi said "Savarkar is BJP and RSS jin" which was defamatory in nature.
