Speaking to media persons, Parsekar said, “D’Souza should spend a few hours in the same prison cell in the Andaman Nicobar islands where Savarkar was incarcerated in the pre-Independence era.”
“I have spent a couple of inspiring hours there. If he does not know who Savarkar is, he should ask his party president Sharad Pawar about how great a freedom fighter he was,” Parsekar said.
The Chief Minister also said there was no proposal with the government to name Vasco Ravindra Bhavan after Savarkar.
“Why simply discuss an issue when there is no such proposal before the government?” he asked.
