Sparks flew in Mumbai as Congress heavyweight Bhai Jagtap repudiated RSS head Mohan Bhagwat’s advocacy for bestowing Bharat Ratna upon Vinayak Savarkar. ‘This won’t raise the award’s prestige,’ he contended, revering it as the supreme accolade for national icons.
Honorees sacrificed all for India, yet Savarkar’s shadow looms with accusations. Jagtap highlighted ministers’ scandals via reports, decrying potential sacrilege to the honor under Modi rule.
Let the powers decide, he said, as India watches keenly. On Salman Khan’s RSS sojourn, the sports enthusiast implored: keep cinema and games politics-free. His cricket tenure underscored 90s mafia busts by Congress, unlike today’s Shetty firing and actor intimidations signaling anarchy.
Criminals thrive sans fear, eyeing BJP for shield, Jagtap alleged. Dismissing Bhagwat’s three-child nudge as absurd amid population primacy and female vulnerabilities per data, he championed youth autonomy in matrimony, favoring career blueprints.
Sarma’s Gogoi jabs? Act, don’t yap, Jagtap urged. Tavade’s BMC helm and outsider barbs got nods with a decade-long deportation scorecard demand. Birla’s words? Tragic, stifling opposition on China in Parliament’s sanctum.
Pawar crash whispers—aged plane woes—call for probes to avert repeats. India-Pak ties? Cricket triumphs, U-19 style, demand sporting lens alone, sans geopolitical overlay.
