Savarkar biopic attempt to distort history: Forward Bloc

June 02, 2023 19:31

The All India Forward Bloc on Friday alleged that a biopic of Hindutva ideologue VD Savarkar by actor Randeep Hooda was an attempt to distort history to "satisfy the interests" of the Sangh Parivar.

The Left party asserted that the claim in the teaser, which has been recently released, that Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, Bhagat Singh and Khudiram Bose were inspired by Savarkar was untrue.

"The teaser of the bio-picture on VD Savarkar released by actor Randeep Hooda is an attempt to distort the history and to satiate the interests of the Sangh Parivar," AIFB general secretary G Devarajan said in a statement.

He claimed there is "absolutely no similarity" between Netaji and Savarkar in terms of ideology, outlook and methods of action.

"Savarkar's ideology was diametrically opposite to that of Netaji," Devarajan said. -- PTI
