Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Uddhav Thackeray told Rahul Gandhi that he considers Hindutva ideologue V D Savarkar as his idol and asked the Congress leader to refrain from insulting him. Ex-MP Rahul Gandhi was disqualified from the Lok Sabha on Friday, a day after a court in Gujarat`s Surat convicted him in a 2019 defamation case. Addressing a press conference in Delhi over his disqualification, Rahul Gandhi said, "My name is not Savarkar, my name is Gandhi and Gandhi does not offer an apology to anyone".Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut echoed his party chief and said, "It is a wrong statement. He`s definitely a Gandhi but no need to drag Savarkar."
