Indore (Madhya Pradesh): Hitting out at the BJP for proposing Veer Savarkar's name for the Bharat Ratna, Congress leader Digvijaya Singh said that the Centre shall not forget that Savarkar's name was registered in a conspiracy behind Mahatma Gandhi's murder.
Addressing a press conference here on Wednesday, the former chief minister said, "Savarkar's life had two aspects. First his participation in the independence struggle and when he came back after seeking an apology (to the British). BJP shall not forget that his name was registered in a conspiracy behind Mahatma Gandhi's murder."
