Indira said Savarkar compromised with British, asked for forgiveness: Rahul in LS | India News – Times of India

After a BJP MP sought the opinion of Rahul Gandhi‘s grandmother and former prime minister Indira Gandhi on Savarkar, Rahul said she told him that Savarkar had compromised with the British. “I had asked her once when I was small. She said Savarkar wrote a letter to the British and asked for forgiveness from the British,” he said in Lok Sabha. Rahul added that “Indira Gandhi also said that Mahatma Gandhi went to jail, Nehru went to jail and Savarkar apologised. That was Indira Gandhi’s position.”
