NEW DELHI: Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Sanjay Raut on Wednesday met former Congress presidents Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi and stated “everything is fine”, signalling an finish to the row over V D Savarkar.
The Thackeray faction of the Shiv Sena was upset over Rahul Gandhi’s strident assault of Savarkar, a revolutionary chief revered in Maharashtra, resulting in friction within the Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi coalition with the Congress and NCP within the state.
NCP supremo Sharad Pawar had requested Rahul Gandhi to tone down the criticism of Savarkar and reminded the Congress chief that the true struggle of the opposition events was with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP.
“Met Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi. Many important issues were discussed. Everything is fine. There is nothing to worry,” Raut stated on Twitter.
Raut had spoken with Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday after the intervention by Pawar.
“The opposition is united in Maharashtra as well as in the country,” Raut stated to questions on opposition unity in Maharashtra.
On Tuesday, Raut stated he had raised the Savarkar situation in his talks with Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi and MVA companions are on the identical web page on this matter.
“MVA alliance is intact. If anyone thinks the MVA will break apart, they are wrong,” Raut stated.
Gandhi is learnt to have assured Raut he would keep away from any vital reference to Savarkar.
Pawar raised the problem throughout a gathering of opposition leaders convened by Kharge on Monday and made it clear that focusing on Savarkar wouldn’t assist the MVA.
As the BJP stepped up assault on Rahul Gandhi and sought his apology for “maligning” India on his current go to to the UK, the previous Lok Sabha member from Wayanad stated at a press convention on Saturday that he was not Savarkar and wouldn’t apologise.
Former Maharashtra chief minister Uddhav Thackeray had slammed Gandhi for his assault on Savarkar and stated his outfit is not going to tolerate any insult of the liberty fighter.
The Thackeray faction had skipped the assembly convened by Kharge as a mark of protest towards Gandhi’s remarks focusing on Savarkar.
