Rahul Gandhi Claims Savarkar Relative of Nathuram Godse
Rahul Gandhi has said that Vinayak Savarkar was related to Nathuram Godse, the man who killed Mahatma Gandhi.
This claim was made in a legal document in response to a lawsuit filed by Satyaki Savarkar, a relative of Vinayak Savarkar.
Gandhi's lawyers say Satyaki didn't mention his family connections to Godse.
The court is now considering these arguments, which also refer to Savarkar's views on Muslims and his advocacy of the two-nation theory.
Rahul Gandhi claimed Vinayak Savarkar was related to Nathuram Godse in court.
The claim was made in response to a defamation lawsuit filed by Satyaki Savarkar.
Gandhi's legal team argued Satyaki concealed his maternal family connections.
The application references Savarkar's documented anti-Muslim views.
The court is reviewing the submissions.
