BJP Dakshina Kannada unit president Sudharshan Moodbidri said here on Monday that the party will support the demand made by Mangaluru City North MLA Y. Bharat Shetty to name Surathkal Junction after Vinayak Damodar Savarkar.
To a question at a press conference here on the growing opposition to name the traffic circle after Veer Savarkar, he said that Savarkar was a well-known freedom fighter. He underwent the most rigorous punishment at Kala Pani or the Cellular Jail in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands for his fight against the British rule. He was involved in the nationalist movement. The BJP also stresses on nationalist values and agenda. What is wrong in naming the traffic circle after Veer Savarkar, he asked.
Mr. Moodbidri said that those who are opposing Savarkar have not read India’s history properly. They have not understood the role of Savarkar in the freedom movement. It is not correct to oppose the move to name the traffic circle after Savarkar.
