Veteran actor Vikram Gokhale came down heavily on the Congress leadership on Wednesday on their stand on freedom fighter and Hindutva ideologue Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, asking what did they know about him.
Gokhale was speaking at a press conference at the ongoing Pune International Film Festival.
Recently, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi had kicked up controversy with his statement that his name was not "Rahul Savarkar" and hence he would not seek apology over his "Rape in India" remark.
Asked about the Congress leaders' views about the Hindutva ideologue, Gokhale said, "Sonia Gandhi doesn't have any right to speak about Savarkar. What she knows about Savarkar? What has she read about Savarkar? I just don't care for her. Rahul Gandhi, what he knows about Savarkar?"
