Malegaon:

Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray on Sunday said that he is close to Hindutva ideologue V.D.

He considers Savarkar as his ideal.

He asked Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to refrain from insulting Savarkar.

He said that the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), an alliance of three parties - Shiv Sena (UBT), Congress and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) - was formed to protect democracy and for this it was necessary to work together.

Addressing a rally in Malegaon, a Muslim-majority town in northern Maharashtra's Nashik district, Thackeray also said that efforts were being made to deliberately provoke Rahul Gandhi.

He said, “Savarkar is our idol and his insult will not be tolerated.

We have to fight together to protect our democracy.

Savarkar suffered unimaginable tortures in the Andaman jail for 14 years.

We can only read the sufferings.

This sacrifice is a symbol.

Will not tolerate the insult of Savarkar.

The alliance of Uddhav faction, Cong & NCP was made to protect democracy & we need to work unitedly.
