Priyank Kharge's Comment On Savarkar Sparks Row, His Grandnephew Hits Back

A major political row has erupted following comments made by Karnataka Minister and senior Congress leader Priyank Kharge on the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and Vinayak Damodar Savarkar. The comments have triggered a sharp counter from Savarkar's family with his grandnephew, Satyaki Savarkar slamming the Congress.

Accusing Kharge of making statements to chase political clout, Satyaki Savarkar came out strongly in defence of his granduncle and the RSS, accusing Congress leaders of deliberately smearing freedom fighters due to political frustration over being out of power.
