ALAPPUZHA (KERALA): AICC general secretary and Alappuzha MP K C Venugopal on Friday said that RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat’s recent remark that India got “true independence” after the Ram temple consecration was “anti national” and demanded that a case be lodged against him for it.
Venugopal, in response to reporters’ queries about Bhagwat’s statement, said that the remark was also an “insult” to the Indian freedom struggle and all the freedom fighters and martyrs who were part of it.
“Mohan Bhagwat has insulted freedom fighters and martyrs by rejecting the entire Indian freedom struggle and saying that India did not get independence in 1947,” he told reporters here.
