The Maharashtra government will organise a 'Veerbhoomi Parikrama' from May 21 to 28 to mark the birth anniversary of late Hindutva ideologue VD Savarkar, state minister Mangal Prabhat Lodha said on Friday.

The ruling Shiv Sena-Bharatiya Janata Party and the Congress have been engaged in a war of words over Savarkar, mainly due the opposition party's Rahul Gandhi routinely mocking the late Hindutva ideologue for "apologising" to the British to get out of jail.
